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

This trial tests a new implantable valve designed to treat severe leg swelling and skin damage caused by faulty deep veins that have stopped working properly. The valve may help prevent complications and improve symptoms after standard treatments haven't fully worked.
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 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 trial tests a new catheter device to remove blockages in the large veins of your legs. It may help if you have chronic leg swelling or pain from vein problems.
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.
