Using AI to study leg arteries before amputation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial uses artificial intelligence to analyze CT scans and microscope images of the main leg artery. It aims to improve understanding of artery structure. Participation is only for patients who are already scheduled for a leg amputation as part of their medical care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for a leg amputation (above the knee) as part of your standard treatment
- You have already had a CT scan of your leg as part of your regular care
- You agree to let researchers use your CT scan and a small piece of your artery for this study

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.
This trial uses artificial intelligence to analyze CT scans and help surgeons find the best blood vessels in the leg for reconstructive surgery. It aims to make surgery safer and more precise.
This trial uses artificial intelligence to develop better ways to predict the risk and progression of two blood vessel conditions: abdominal aortic aneurysm (a bulging in the main belly artery) and peripheral artery disease (narrowed arteries in the legs). If you have one of these conditions, researchers want to learn from your data to improve future care.
This trial uses a Doppler ultrasound to measure blood flow speed in your leg arteries to see if it can better predict a severe form of peripheral artery disease called critical limb ischemia. You may qualify if you have known artery disease in your leg and are already scheduled for a toe blood pressure test.
This study tests a mobile app to track your recovery after surgery for severe leg artery disease. The goal is to see if using the app helps improve your recovery and quality of life.
This study tests how well artificial intelligence can analyze artery pressure waveforms during surgery. If you're having scheduled surgery and already need this monitoring, your data might help improve patient care.
