New Clot-Busting device tested in 500 patients
NCT ID NCT05868161
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study is tracking 500 people who had a procedure using the Pounce Thrombectomy System, a device that removes blood clots from arteries in the legs without open surgery. The goal is to see how well the device restores blood flow and how safe it is. The study is retrospective, meaning it looks back at medical records, and is being conducted at multiple centers in the US.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Pounce Thrombectomy System (a device that removes blood clots from arteries without open surgery)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this registry could confirm that the Pounce device is a safe and effective way to restore blood flow in people with blocked leg arteries, potentially reducing the need for more invasive surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove the device works better than other treatments. Results may be influenced by patient selection and lack of a comparison group.
