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 tests a new device that uses sound waves to break up calcium deposits in leg arteries, helping to improve blood flow and reduce symptoms like leg pain or wounds. It is for people with significant blockages above or below the knee.
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 study looks at how blood flows in the legs of people with peripheral artery disease (narrowed leg arteries) compared to healthy people. It uses CT scans to create 3D models, which may help doctors understand the disease better and could lead to better treatments.
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 uses artificial intelligence to help find early signs of peripheral artery disease (PAD) in people who have not been diagnosed yet. If you join, the AI may spot warning signs during your regular clinic visit, helping you get earlier care.
