Testing a small-vessel device for foot circulation problems
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial checks how well a device called the Pantheris Small Vessel System works to treat blocked small blood vessels in the foot/leg. It may help people improve circulation, but you must meet specific health and follow-up requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Have a blocked blood-vessel area in the lower leg/just above the ankle area (infragenicular segment)
- Have at least one blood vessel in the foot that shows up on testing (a pedal vessel)
- Have circulation blockage severity rated as Rutherford 3, 4, 5, or 6
- Agree to sign informed consent and follow the study schedule

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at whether using a scraping device (atherectomy) followed by a drug-coated balloon works better for long blockages in the thigh-to-knee artery. It may help improve blood flow symptoms and keep the artery from re-narrowing, but you must meet specific artery and health criteria.
This trial tests a new device called the Golazo® Atherectomy System that removes plaque from leg arteries to improve blood flow. It may help people with leg pain when walking or small wounds caused by blocked arteries.
This trial tests a special balloon that releases medication to help keep leg arteries open. It's for people with narrowed or blocked arteries in the leg, either above or below the knee.
This study tests a new way to restore blood flow to the leg in people who have wounds or dead tissue on their foot and have run out of other treatment options. It's for those who have already tried angioplasty twice without success or have severely hardened small arteries.
This trial tests a device called the Protexus catheter, which removes blood clots and debris during leg artery procedures. It is for people with severe blockages below the knee who are already scheduled for balloon angioplasty or atherectomy.
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.
