Clot-removal treatment for blocked blood flow in the leg
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests how safe and effective a clot-removal procedure done through the blood vessels is for people with acute or subacute blocked blood flow in the lower leg. It may help by improving circulation while carefully tracking risks and results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have a clot-related leg blood-flow problem that is mild to moderate (Rutherford stage 3–5)
- Doctors can pass a wire through the blockage in the femoropopliteal artery and confirm the clot on imaging
- You must receive a clot-removal treatment through a catheter (such as mechanical or medicine-plus-mechanical removal, or catheter-directed clot dissolving)
- Good blood “runoff” is present—at least 10 cm above the ankle—with at least one healthy foot artery feeding into the toes
- You agree to join and sign the consent form

This trial tests a procedure to remove blood clots from deep veins in the leg and pelvis. It aims to improve blood flow and reduce long-term leg damage. If you have a recent clot in these veins, you may be eligible.
This trial compares different mechanical devices used to remove recent blood clots from the deep veins in your leg (iliac and femoral veins). The goal is to restore blood flow and prevent long-term complications like chronic pain and swelling.
This trial studies a procedure to remove an acute deep vein blood clot in the leg. It may help restore blood flow faster than standard treatment for certain clot locations.
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.
This trial tests a two-step treatment for long blockages in the leg artery: first, a device clears the plaque, then a drug-coated balloon is used to keep the artery open and prevent re-narrowing. It aims to improve blood flow and reduce symptoms like leg pain or wounds.
This study tests a device that removes blood clots from the deep veins of your leg. It's designed to help people with recent or slightly older clots in the thigh or pelvic area, aiming to reduce symptoms and prevent complications.
