Ultrasound treatment for severe leg artery disease ulcers
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies a specific ultrasound-based treatment aimed at improving healing of severe circulation-related ulcers in the legs. It may help if you have poor blood flow and a wound that hasn’t improved despite usual care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have leg circulation disease (PAD) in one or both legs, shown by an ankle-brachial index under 0.9 or non-compressible leg vessels
- You have critical limb-threatening disease (CLI) with an ongoing ulcer that hasn’t improved over the last 3 months
- You do not have another major illness affecting the treated limb’s blood flow (besides PAD)
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You are not allergic to ultrasound contrast materials or polyethylene glycol (PEG/macrogol)
- Your blood pressure is stable and you are not likely to need amputation or a revascularization procedure within 1 month

This study checks whether using a special ultrasound with contrast can improve blood flow in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). If you have leg circulation problems, it may help doctors measure and potentially enhance how well blood reaches your limb.
This trial tests whether using a special ultrasound probe inside the artery (intravascular ultrasound) helps doctors better treat blocked leg arteries. It may lead to more effective procedures for patients with leg pain or wounds due to poor blood flow.
This study uses ultrasound to measure blood flow in the legs of people with PAD symptoms and healthy volunteers. It aims to improve how doctors assess peripheral arterial disease without invasive tests.
This trial tests a cell-based treatment for leg ulcers that haven't healed with standard care in people with severe peripheral artery disease. The goal is to see if this therapy can help wounds heal and improve blood flow.
This study tests whether using a special ultrasound probe inside the artery during a leg procedure helps doctors open blockages more safely and effectively. It aims to improve blood flow and save the leg for people with severe peripheral artery disease who have pain, wounds, or gangrene.
This study tests a new ultrasound technique that creates clearer images of blood vessels. It may help doctors better diagnose and understand peripheral artery disease, which affects blood flow to the legs.
