Study of recovery after thigh artery injuries
Part of Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial looks at outcomes in adults who have injuries to the femoropopliteal (thigh-to-knee) artery. It may help doctors understand what affects recovery and discharge, especially for preventing complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be an adult age 18 or older
- Have an artery injury in the thigh-to-knee (femoropopliteal) area
- Be able to survive to hospital discharge (not die before discharge)
- Do not have a primary (planned as the first step) amputation of the injured limb

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial is studying care for adults with a specific type of fracture around the knee (Schatzker types V or VI). You may be asked about the type of injury and what treatment you received so researchers can compare outcomes.
This study looks at a special drainage measurement (“tissue ultrafiltration”) to better detect and treat acute compartment syndrome, a dangerous increase in pressure in the leg after major injury. It may help doctors identify who needs urgent treatment and improve outcomes after severe leg fractures or crush injuries.
This trial looks at outcomes after a below-knee (lower-leg) amputation in Veterans. It focuses on people who have blood flow likely to heal and who plan to join rehabilitation to walk again with a prosthesis.
This trial tests whether using a special cuff to reduce blood flow during exercises helps rebuild muscle size and strength after a tibia (shinbone) fracture. It may help you recover faster while your leg is healing.
This trial compares a physiotherapy program to a surgical procedure (fasciotomy) for chronic “compartment” pressure in the lower leg triggered by exercise. If you have symptoms that reliably come on with walking/running and improve with rest, the study may offer a structured way to find the best treatment for you.
This study looks at gene activity (what genes are “turned on or off”) in the lower leg in people with acute compartment syndrome after a tibia (shin bone) injury. The goal is to better understand what is happening in the body and potentially guide future treatment decisions.
