Improving treatment for acute deep vein thrombosis in the whole lower limb
Official title: Clinical Study On The Improvement Of Rheolytic Thrombectomy For Acute Deep Vein Thrombosis Of Whole Lower Limb By Primary Popliteal Vein Thrombosis Clearance
Run by RenJi Hospital · NCT05286710 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new way to treat acute deep vein thrombosis in the entire leg to see if changing the procedure can help patients feel better and avoid long-term complications.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-80 with acute DVT symptoms that began within the last 14 days.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with a history of DVT in the same leg, contraindications to thrombolysis, or significant comorbidities may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial investigates a new approach to pharmacomechanical thrombectomy (PMT) for patients with acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT) affecting the entire lower limb. The study aims to adjust the access point for the procedure to enhance thrombus clearance and reduce the risk of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). By targeting the iliac vein and other key areas, the researchers hope to improve outcomes for patients who have experienced DVT symptoms for less than 14 days. The trial will include patients aged 18-80 who meet specific inclusion criteria and will exclude those with certain medical conditions or previous DVT history.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly reduce the incidence of post-thrombotic syndrome in patients with acute DVT.
How similar studies have gone: While similar approaches have been explored, this specific method of adjusting access for PMT in whole lower limb DVT is novel and has not been extensively tested.
