Endovascular treatment for blocked aorta and iliac arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies how well a minimally invasive (endovascular) procedure works over the long term for people with significant blockage in the lower aorta and iliac arteries. You may be considered if you need treatment for narrowing, re-narrowing, or a blockage of these arteries, and you can safely take the study medications and return for follow-ups.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have leg/artery disease rated as Rutherford 3 to 6
- The blockage is in the lower (infrarenal) abdominal aorta and/or common or external iliac artery
- There is at least 50% narrowing, repeat narrowing, full blockage, or clot/thrombosis in the target artery (based on prior imaging or prior procedures)
- You can and agree to return for follow-up visits at the required times and sign consent
- You can safely take blood-thinning medicines like antiplatelet drugs and anticoagulants (or have no allergy/contraindication)
- You have not had a heart attack or stroke in the last 3 months, and you do not have pregnancy/breastfeeding

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 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 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 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 special preparation method (breaking up calcium) plus a Supera stent versus standard preparation plus stenting for people with severe calcium buildup and long blockages in the thigh or behind-the-knee artery. It aims to see which approach works better for opening the artery and keeping it open.
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.
