Check a new treatment for blocked leg arteries after procedures
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This post-market study follows people with significant below-the-knee artery blockages to see how a treatment performs over time. It may help patients by confirming the safety and ongoing effectiveness of the device used for these leg artery problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 75 years old
- Have circulation blockage in the lower leg classified as Rutherford 3, 4, or 5
- Have a new blockage or a re-narrowing in below-the-knee arteries (with blood flow still present beyond the blockage)
- Kidney function must be good enough (creatinine clearance 30 mL/min or higher)
- Avoid recent or urgent artery problems: no acute clot/blockage at the target site, and no stroke in the last 90 days
- Agree to allow contrast dye and medication-related treatments (no known allergy to contrast, blood thinners, anti-platelet drugs, or clot-busters)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a drug-coated balloon can better reopen blocked arteries in the lower leg (below the knee). It may help keep blood flow open and reduce the chance the blockage comes back, after a procedure to cross and open the narrowed area.
This trial studies a device-based treatment approach for people with blocked (narrowed or fully blocked) arteries in the thigh or behind the knee that reduce blood flow to the leg. It may help improve blood flow and walking ability, but you must meet specific artery and imaging requirements.
This study looks at whether using a drug-coated balloon (DCB) versus a regular balloon (POBA) right after placing a stent works better in artery blockages in the thigh/knee area. It may help improve blood flow and reduce the chance the artery narrows again.
This trial compares a special drug-coated balloon/stent strategy versus a standard stent approach for people with blocked thigh artery segments. It aims to improve how long the artery stays open and reduces repeat procedures.
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 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.
