Stent-like device for blocked leg arteries in the thigh or knee
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies a new stent-like vascular scaffold to improve blood flow in people with symptomatic blockage in the thigh/knee artery. It may help reduce symptoms from narrowed or blocked arteries, but you must meet several artery and health requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have leg artery blockage causing symptoms (severity between mild and severe).
- Your expected life span is more than 36 months.
- You can give informed consent and agree to frequent follow-up visits at the study site.
- You can safely take blood thinners/anti-platelet medicines as prescribed (like aspirin and similar drugs).
- Your blockage is in a specific artery spot: the superficial femoral artery or the P1 popliteal segment, with certain measurements (size and length).
- Your blood tests are in safe ranges (for example, hemoglobin and platelets).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies a drug-eluting dissolving scaffold placed in blocked arteries below the knee to improve blood flow. It may help people whose leg circulation problems are severe enough to limit walking or threaten the limb, but only if their blockages fit specific imaging and procedure requirements.
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 studies a new “smart” stent placed in the thigh-to-knee artery to treat significant blockages. It may help improve blood flow to the foot, and you would be followed closely to see how well the stent works over time.
This study tests a new type of stent (called ZENFLEX Pro) to open blocked arteries in the leg. The stent helps improve blood flow and may reduce leg pain and help wounds heal, and may be a good option if your blockage is in the thigh or behind the knee.
This study tests two treatments for long blockages in the leg arteries (femoropopliteal). It compares a special stent-graft coated with heparin to a drug-coated balloon to see which better restores blood flow and reduces symptoms. You may benefit if you have significant leg pain or wounds from poor circulation.
This study compares a new balloon-expandable stent to standard bare-metal stenting to treat complex blockages in the iliac arteries (main blood vessels to the legs). It may help people with symptoms like leg pain with walking, pain at rest, or minor tissue injury by improving blood flow and reducing repeat procedures.
