Study of a new treatment for blocked leg arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and agree to sign the study consent form
- You can walk, either by yourself or with a non-motorized aid (like a cane)
- You have peripheral artery disease with moderate severity in the target leg (Rutherford class 2 to 4)
- Your clinician expects you to live more than 12 months
- Your leg blockage fits specific measurements on imaging (location, length, and degree of narrowing)
- You must have at least one open lower-leg artery (toes/foot area) with good enough flow

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a combination of balloon and laser techniques to open blocked arteries in the legs. It may help improve blood flow and symptoms like pain or wounds that aren't healing.
This study tests a new balloon device that scores the artery walls to treat leg artery blockages with heavy calcium deposits. It aims to see if the device helps prepare the vessel safely and effectively before placing a stent.
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 new approach to treat severe, hardened blockages in the leg arteries. It may help people with painful leg symptoms or wounds that won't heal.
This trial tests a special balloon coated with a drug (paclitaxel) to open blocked leg arteries, aiming to improve blood flow and reduce symptoms like leg pain when walking. It is for people with moderate to severe leg artery disease who have not had prior stents or bypass in the treated area.
This trial tests a laser device (Auryon) to clear blockages in leg arteries below the knee, compared to standard balloon angioplasty. It aims to improve blood flow and save the leg from amputation in people with severe peripheral artery disease.
