Hidden danger: clots linger after catheters removed in ICU
NCT ID NCT07473284
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study watches 300 ICU patients to see how often blood clots caused by catheters remain in the vein after the catheter is taken out. Researchers will track risk factors and whether these clots lead to serious issues like lung clots or long-term vein damage. No new treatments are tested—only careful observation and ultrasound checks.
