FAZA PET/MRI scan before and after leg revascularization
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a special combined scan (PET/MRI) to look at blood flow and tissue changes in people with severely reduced blood supply to the legs. The scan is done before and after a procedure to reopen blocked blood vessels, to understand how well treatment works.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have critical limb ischemia (severely reduced blood flow to the leg) and are scheduled for a revascularization procedure.
- If you can get pregnant, you must have a negative urine or blood pregnancy test before joining.
- You can provide written informed consent.
- You can lie flat on your back (supine) for at least 30 minutes during the scan.

This study tests whether a new radioactive tracer called APAC is safe and can be seen in PET/CT scans. It is for people with blocked leg arteries (PAOD/CLI) and for healthy volunteers. The goal is to see where the tracer goes in the body and how the body tolerates it.
This study follows adults with very poor blood flow to the foot or leg (with wounds or severe pain) who are having a revascularization procedure to improve circulation. It may help doctors understand outcomes after treatment and improve care for people with critical limb ischemia.
This study uses a special PET/MR scan (FAZA with imaging) to better understand stomach and esophagus cancer. You may be able to join if you have eligible cancer and can safely complete the scan.
This study uses a new type of PET/MR scan (FAPI) to look at inflammation in the heart shortly after a heart attack. It may help doctors understand recovery better and guide future treatments.
This study uses a special MRI technique (called dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI) to check blood flow in the feet before and after a leg artery opening procedure (revascularization) in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). It aims to see how well the treatment improves foot circulation.
This study tests a new way to restore blood flow to the leg in people who have wounds or dead tissue on their foot and have run out of other treatment options. It's for those who have already tried angioplasty twice without success or have severely hardened small arteries.
