New strategy could spare patients from unnecessary blood thinners
NCT ID NCT03868956
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested a new approach to diagnose whether a blood clot has returned in the leg. Instead of relying on older methods, doctors used color Doppler ultrasound and a D-Dimer blood test to safely rule out a new clot. Over 400 people with a history of deep vein thrombosis took part, and those not treated based on the strategy were followed for 3 months. The goal was to see if this method could avoid unnecessary blood thinner use while still catching dangerous clots.
