DEFIANCE Trial Summary

This trial compares an interventional strategy with anticoagulation therapy to treat iliofemoral DVT to see which is more effective in restoring vessel patency. Results will be collected over 6 months.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with recent (within 12 weeks) symptoms of deep vein thrombosis in the leg, specifically in the iliofemoral region. Participants must have significant symptoms and be able to consent. Exclusions include severe anemia, bleeding disorders, kidney failure not on dialysis, bilateral DVTs, or other conditions that make anticoagulation or intervention risky.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The DEFIANCE trial compares two treatments for deep vein thrombosis: a new procedure using ClotTriever System versus standard blood thinners like Heparin or Warfarin. It's a randomized controlled study which means patients are put into treatment groups by chance to compare outcomes after six months.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from the ClotTriever may include bleeding, pain at the site of intervention, and vessel damage. Standard anticoagulants can cause bleeding issues, allergic reactions (especially heparin), and possible kidney problems with certain drugs.
