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 tests a new type of artificial blood vessel for people with severely blocked leg arteries who need bypass surgery. It aims to see if this device is safe and works well for restoring blood flow to the leg.
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 compares two ways to open a blocked artery in the thigh or behind the knee. Both are minimally invasive procedures, and the goal is to see which one works better for long or complex blockages, possibly improving blood flow and reducing leg pain.
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 is a real-world observational study that follows people who get minimally invasive procedures to treat blocked arteries in the lower abdomen and pelvis. It aims to understand how well these treatments work in the middle and long term.
