Testing the Boomerang Catheter for severe leg artery disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new device called the Boomerang Catheter for people with severe leg artery disease (CLTI) who have no other treatment options to save their limb. The goal is to see if this catheter can restore enough blood flow to help the leg heal.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You have a severe type of leg pain or tissue loss (Rutherford 5 or 6) and very poor blood flow in your leg.
- Doctors have determined that usual treatments (like bypass surgery or stents) cannot save your leg.
- You have a good vein in your leg that can be used for the procedure.
- You are not on dialysis and have reasonable kidney function.
- You are expected to live at least 12 more months.

This study tests a new way to restore blood flow in the lower leg for people with chronic limb-threatening ischemia, a serious condition where leg wounds won't heal due to poor circulation. If it works, this treatment could help save the leg and avoid amputation.
This trial compares two ways to open blocked leg arteries in people with severe limb-threatening ischemia. One method uses a special device to remove the plaque (atherectomy) followed by a balloon, and the other uses only a balloon. The goal is to see which approach better restores blood flow to the foot and helps wounds heal.
This trial tests a special balloon that releases medicine to open blocked arteries below the knee in people with severe leg pain or wounds. It may help improve blood flow and avoid amputation.
This trial tests whether a drug-coated balloon can better reopen blocked arteries in the lower leg (below the knee). It may help keep blood flow open and reduce the chance the blockage comes back, after a procedure to cross and open the narrowed area.
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 trial tests if using a special pressure-sensing wire during treatment of blocked leg arteries below the knee can improve outcomes for people with severe circulation problems that threaten the limb. It aims to help patients with Rutherford category 5 chronic limb threatening ischemia.
