New device aims to clear lung clots fast
NCT ID NCT06819865
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 18, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study will test a device called EkoSonic in 30 Chinese patients with acute pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lungs). The device uses ultrasound to help break up clots while delivering clot-busting medicine. The main goal is to see if it improves heart function within 48 hours. This is an observational study, meaning patients receive standard care with the device, and researchers collect real-world data.

Who is studied
This study will enroll patients who received EkoSonicTM Endovascular System treatment with r-tPA for acute pulmonary thromboembolism, and who could provide sufficient echocardiographic quality to assess the collection of primary endpoint, and prospectively collect the clinical data related to the protocol in the actual clinical diagnosis and treatment

Inclusion Criteria: 1. The patients with acute symptomatic pulmonary embolism (Symptomatic duration \< 14 days). 2. The right ventricle diameter to left ventricle diameter of end-diastolic dimension ratio ≥1 measured by echocardiographic image 3. Investigator has selected the EkoSonicTM Endovascular System with r-tPA to treat patient. Exclusion Criteria: 1.
