New device spots hidden blood clots in real time
NCT ID NCT05301348
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a new device that can find blood clots moving through the bloodstream in people with thromboembolism (blood clots in veins or arteries). About 30 adults with known or high risk of clots will be enrolled. The device uses a special ultrasound technique to detect clots, and researchers will compare its results with standard D-dimer blood tests to see how well it works.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria * Men and women, 18 years old and older. * Evidence of current venous or arterial thromboembolic disease diagnosed by standard of care clinical, radiographic, or laboratory testing or acute ischemic stroke. * Informed consent provided by the subject. Exclusion Criteria * Pulmonary embolus with a need for mechanical ventilation or other ventilator support (may be on oxygen delivered by nasal cannula or mask at an FiO2 of ≤ 0.40) * Acute coronary syndrome (including unstable angina) * Significant cardiac arrhythmia (may have atrial fibrillation controlled with medication) * Intracardiac thrombus * Any embolus or thrombus requiring vascular surgery or interventional radiology to attempt acute embolectomy or thrombectomy * Sickle cell disease with vaso-occlusive crisis * Sepsis or life-threatening infection * Traumatic injury requiring hospitalization (within 30 days prior to enrollment) * Pregnancy or breastfeeding * Severe mental illness * Other conditions deemed by the investigators to put the subject at greater risk
