Testing balloon and stent devices for blocked kidney or leg arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies how safe and well several balloon and stent devices work for treating narrowed or blocked arteries in the kidney area or the groin/upper leg. It may help patients who fit the specific artery location and device-use instructions for these treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Have a narrowing or blockage in the renal, iliac, or femoral arteries (kidney area, groin, or upper leg)
- Be able to understand the procedure and sign consent
- Your artery shape/size must fit each device’s instructions for use
- You must not be allergic to anything in the device materials
- Not have very limited life expectancy (less than 12 months)

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 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 drug-coated balloon to open blocked or narrowed arteries in the leg (above the knee). It may help improve blood flow and reduce symptoms like pain or sores.
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.
This trial tests a special balloon coated with medicine to treat blocked small arteries in the heart. It may help people who have new blockages and are getting a procedure to open those arteries.
This trial tests a balloon-expandable covered stent to treat blockages in the iliac artery (a major blood vessel in your pelvis). It may be an option for people with leg pain from poor blood flow.
