Recovery tracking after leg artery surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years of age or older.
- You have severe leg artery disease that threatens the limb, called chronic limb threatening ischemia.
- You are scheduled for surgery to restore blood flow to your leg, either through a small tube (endovascular) or open bypass surgery.
- You are not at high risk of needing a leg amputation after surgery, as judged by the study doctor.
- You can speak and read English.
- You do not have a dementia diagnosis like Alzheimer's disease.
- You can hear well enough to communicate (even with a hearing aid).
- Your vision is good enough to safely use a mobile app and complete assessments.

This study tests a new questionnaire (modified VascuQol) to measure how leg artery disease affects your daily life. It aims to create a better tool for doctors to track your symptoms and well-being.
This trial tests a supervised exercise program for people with leg pain when walking caused by narrowed leg arteries. The goal is to see if exercise can improve walking ability and quality of life.
This study tests a new device called the Spur to open blocked arteries below the knee in people with severe leg pain or minor wounds. It is specifically for people who also have diabetes or are on dialysis.
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 trial tests a personalized exercise program for people with peripheral arterial disease (PAD), a condition that causes leg pain when walking. The goal is to see if a tailored exercise plan can help reduce pain, improve walking distance, and boost quality of life.
This trial tests whether using a wearable activity tracker (like a fitness band) can help people with peripheral artery disease walk better and farther without pain. It's designed for people newly diagnosed with leg pain when walking (claudication) and offers a simple way to track and improve your walking.
