Study comparing patients with artery disease before surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at people with blocked leg arteries who are having planned (elective) open surgery for symptoms like leg pain when walking or at rest. It aims to better understand what to expect in these patients and how to compare outcomes between groups.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for planned (elective) surgery for a leg artery problem (PAA or PAD).
- The surgery planned is an open (not minimally invasive) operation.
- You have symptoms such as leg pain when walking that comes and goes, or pain at rest.
- You do not have very large or major amounts of tissue damage (only limited minor loss is acceptable).
- You are able to understand and complete questionnaires in Swedish.
- You should not have severe pain or major problems with memory/thinking that prevent informed answers.

This study looks back at adults treated for severe blockages in the large arteries of the pelvis and lower belly. Researchers want to compare how well different treatments (minimally invasive procedures, open surgery, or a mix) worked over time.
This trial tests a new synthetic bypass graft for people with advanced leg artery blockages. It may help avoid using your own veins for surgery and could improve blood flow to your legs.
This study collects information about people who had a procedure to improve blood flow in certain leg arteries. It helps researchers understand which treatments work best and what outcomes to expect.
This study tests a special catheter to open blocked arteries in the thigh, knee, or lower leg. It may help improve blood flow and reduce symptoms like leg pain or wounds.
This study is testing a new drug-coated stent for blocked arteries in the thigh or behind the knee. It may help people with moderate to severe leg pain or wounds by improving blood flow without needing surgery.
This trial is testing a special covered stent versus a drug-coated balloon to treat long or completely blocked arteries in the thigh and knee area. It aims to see which approach works better for patients with moderate to severe symptoms.
