NCT ID NCT06446024
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested the INDIGO Aspiration System, a device that uses a vacuum to remove blood clots from arteries and veins. It included 500 patients in Japan with acute limb ischemia, mesenteric artery occlusion, or severe deep vein thrombosis. The goal was to confirm the device's safety and effectiveness in real-world use.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- INDIGO Aspiration System (a device that uses vacuum to remove blood clots from blood vessels)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that the INDIGO system is a safe and effective tool for quickly removing dangerous blood clots, potentially reducing the need for more invasive surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a post-market study, meaning the device is already approved. However, results may not apply to all patients, and risks like bleeding or clot re-formation remain.
