Study for People with Blood Clots in their Legs
Protocol: STUDY00007163
Full Title
ClotTriever Thrombectomy System vs. Anticoagulation alone for treatment of deep vein thrombosis
Description
The University at Buffalo (UB) Department of Surgery is looking for adults that have a blood clot in their leg for a study. The goal of the study is to see if a new type of treatment [the ClotTriever procedure with anticoagulant (AC) medicines that lower your blood’s ability to clot] may treat blood clots in the leg better than just AC medicines. The ClotTriever procedure works by trapping the blood clot in the leg and then removing it through a mesh metal bag and catheter (or a thin, flexible tube that is inserted into the vein in the groin).

Participants will be in this study for about 6 months. They will be randomly assigned (which happens by chance, like flipping a coin) to one of two groups: (1) receive the ClotTreiever procedure plus AC medication or (2) receive just AC medication. All participants will complete 2 to 3 follow-up visits and 4 to 5 phone calls.
