- Thrombectomy in PE — Recruiting • Cardiology / Cardiovascular • NCT07650435.
- What is being tested: Catheter-based thrombectomy (mechanical removal of blood clots using a special tube) as a treatment for pulmonary embolism, a potentially life-threatening condition where blood clots lodge in the lungs.
- Patient eligibility overview: The trial includes patients diagnosed with pulmonary embolism who are suitable candidates for the thrombectomy procedure, though specific clinical criteria (such as clot burden, haemodynamic status, or contraindications) would determine individual eligibility.

Pulmonary embolism is a blood clot on the lung, which can cause death or significant reduced quality of life. Sucking the clot out with a special tube (catheter) is a relatively new procedure that can be performed but doesn't have the data required to properly support its use in some patients. We know this procedure works in patients who have no other options and would almost certainly die without intervention. We currently don't know how well this procedure is tolerated, how well it works and what its complications are in…
