Comparing treatments for severe pelvic artery blockages
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks back at adults treated for severe blockages in the large arteries of the pelvis and lower belly. Researchers want to compare how well different treatments (minimally invasive procedures, open surgery, or a mix) worked over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with peripheral artery disease caused by hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis).
- You were treated for blockages in the aorta or iliac arteries between early 2015 and early 2022.
- Your treatment involved a catheter-based procedure, open surgery, or a combination of both.
- You did not have a sudden, severe loss of blood flow to your leg without warning.
- You have not already had a major amputation due to this disease.

This is a real-world observational study that follows people who get minimally invasive procedures to treat blocked arteries in the lower abdomen and pelvis. It aims to understand how well these treatments work in the middle and long term.
This trial studies how well a minimally invasive (endovascular) procedure works over the long term for people with significant blockage in the lower aorta and iliac arteries. You may be considered if you need treatment for narrowing, re-narrowing, or a blockage of these arteries, and you can safely take the study medications and return for follow-ups.
This study looks at people with blocked leg arteries who are having planned (elective) open surgery for symptoms like leg pain when walking or at rest. It aims to better understand what to expect in these patients and how to compare outcomes between groups.
This trial tests a special preparation method (breaking up calcium) plus a Supera stent versus standard preparation plus stenting for people with severe calcium buildup and long blockages in the thigh or behind-the-knee artery. It aims to see which approach works better for opening the artery and keeping it open.
This trial is testing a special covered stent versus a drug-coated balloon to treat long or completely blocked arteries in the thigh and knee area. It aims to see which approach works better for patients with moderate to severe symptoms.
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.
