Study Summary

This trial is testing a device to see if it can detect blood clots in people who are at high risk for them.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with thromboembolic disease, confirmed by standard tests like ultrasound. It's not for those needing acute embolectomy/thrombectomy, with unstable heart conditions, intracardiac clots, pregnant/breastfeeding women, severe infections or mental illness, recent trauma patients or those on certain ventilator support.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing the feasibility of a new device that uses Photoacoustic Flow Cytometry to detect circulating blood clots in vivo in patients who have or are at high risk for thromboembolism.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves a non-invasive detection device rather than medication, traditional side effects related to drugs may not apply. However, potential risks associated with the procedure will be explained by the research team.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Comparison of Circulating blood clots detected by PAFC with D-dimer levels in patients with known venous thromboembolic disease - Negative PA peaks
Comparison of Circulating blood clots detected by PAFC with D-dimer levels in patients with known venous thromboembolic disease - Positive PA peaks
Secondary outcome measures
Relationship between PA peaks and circulating blood clots
Safety of the PAFC method - change in skin property
Safety of the PAFC method - skin sensitivity
