Can a leg staging system predict treatment success for CLTI?
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is testing whether a new evaluation system called GLASS can help doctors predict outcomes for patients with severe leg blockages (CLTI) who are getting a minimally invasive procedure (endovascular therapy). It may help guide better treatment decisions for people with this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a condition called chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), which means severe blockages in your leg arteries cause pain at rest, sores, or tissue loss.
- You are planning to have a procedure that goes through your blood vessels (endovascular therapy) to fix blockages in the lower part of your leg.
- You are not pregnant and do not plan to become pregnant.
- You do not have a sudden blood clot in your leg or need a procedure to remove one during the treatment.
- You do not have a major, untreated blockage in the main artery of your pelvis on the same side as your leg problem.
- You are not allergic to the contrast dye used in imaging studies.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how well blood flows through leg arteries after using a balloon to open blockages. It uses special measurements to check if the treatment fully restores blood flow, which may help guide future treatments.
This study looks at people with narrowed or blocked arteries in the pelvis (iliac arteries) who receive a stent to improve blood flow. It aims to understand which factors might predict future serious problems in the legs, like worsening pain or amputation.
This study tests a special catheter to open blocked arteries in the thigh, knee, or lower leg. It may help improve blood flow and reduce symptoms like leg pain or wounds.
This study tests a new way to restore blood flow to the leg in people who have wounds or dead tissue on their foot and have run out of other treatment options. It's for those who have already tried angioplasty twice without success or have severely hardened small arteries.
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 new minimally invasive procedure (placing a small stent) to improve blood flow to a severely threatened foot or lower leg. It may help people whose ulcers or gangrene are not treatable with standard bypass or other surgeries.
