Testing a vein valve device for chronic venous valve leak
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether an implanted “vein valve” system can improve blood flow in people with painful chronic venous valve leakage in the thigh/knee veins. It also checks if the procedure and follow-up are safe and workable, especially with blood-thinner medicines before and after.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can sign a consent form and follow study instructions
- You have symptoms from valve leakage (insufficiency) in the femoral and/or popliteal vein, with reflux lasting over 1 second
- You are able and willing to take blood thinners (anticoagulation) during and after the procedure
- You expect to live more than 1 year
- You have not had a deep vein procedure in the last 6 months

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests an investigational device called the enVVe System to treat leg symptoms caused by damaged vein valves deep in the leg. If you have persistent leg pain, swelling, or skin changes despite using compression stockings, this study might help you. The device is placed into the vein to improve blood flow back to the heart.
This trial tests whether placing a stent (a small mesh tube) in the iliac vein can help heal chronic leg ulcers caused by prior blood clots. The goal is to improve blood flow and reduce symptoms.
This trial compares a needle-based procedure (electrocoagulation) with a foam injection (sclerosing foam) to treat faulty veins in the legs that cause skin damage or ulcers. It aims to find which method works better for people with moderate to severe vein disease.
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 trial tests a new device called the Recana Thrombectomy Catheter to clear blockages in the large veins of the legs or pelvis. It might help people with chronic leg swelling, pain, or open sores caused by poor blood flow out of the leg.
This study tests a new stent designed to open blocked or narrowed veins in the leg, which can cause swelling, pain, or skin changes. If you have such symptoms, this treatment might improve blood flow and relieve your discomfort.
