ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at the risk of blood clots related to vascular catheters used during major surgeries, both for cancer and non-cancer patients. Researchers want to understand how common these clots are and what factors might increase the risk. They will use daily ultrasound exams to monitor patients after their surgeries.

To be eligible for this study, participants need to be adults aged 18 to 80 who do not have blood disorders that make them more likely to develop clots. They also should not be on blood-thinning medications and must have no signs of existing blood clots before their catheter is placed. The study is currently recruiting participants, and those who join can expect to have regular ultrasound checks to ensure their safety during recovery. This study aims to improve our understanding of blood clot risks, which can help in providing better care for patients undergoing major surgeries.
