It's almost a bit of a "misnomer" to refer to them as blood clots, as they are not in the traditional sense. They are protein structures. This becomes a problem, when people think they can be treated with blood-thinners, or aspirin, like normal clots. These amyloid structures do not respond to those treatments.
The d-dimer test finds the "stacked" red blood cells. But the amyloid structures are something entirely different. Would you find the stacked red blood cells via d-dimer in a vaxxed patient, who also has the amyloid structures? That's a good question, and may be a roundabout way of diagnosing and/or determining additional exploration.

My question would be whether they are detectable with things like ddimer
