Computer-assisted Vacuum Thrombectomy (CAVT) for Cancer Patients with Pulmonary Embolism
This study is looking at the safety and quality of life benefits of a procedure called Aspiration Thrombectomy for cancer patients who have an intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE), which is a blood clot in the lung. You might be able to join if you are an adult with a current or past cancer diagnosis, have a confirmed PE, and are considered to have an intermediate-risk PE. The study will measure how your quality of life changes after the procedure, specifically looking at your ability to function. The study plans to enroll 25 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.
