New device for clearing leg artery blockages
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new device called the Golazo® Atherectomy System that removes plaque from leg arteries to improve blood flow. It may help people with leg pain when walking or small wounds caused by blocked arteries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and have peripheral artery disease (hardening of the arteries) in your legs.
- You are a candidate for a procedure called atherectomy, which uses a small device to remove plaque from your leg arteries.
- You have leg pain when walking (Rutherford class 3, 4, or 5) or a wound that is not too deep or large.
- Your artery blockages are at least 70% narrowed and can be treated within a 20 cm length.
- You do not have severe kidney disease, active infections, bleeding disorders, or serious foot wounds like deep heel ulcers or gangrene.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies a “drug-coated balloon” procedure to improve blood flow in people with severe, long-lasting poor circulation in the lower leg arteries. It may help reduce repeat blockage after treatment for selected artery lesions below the knee.
This trial looks at whether using a scraping device (atherectomy) followed by a drug-coated balloon works better for long blockages in the thigh-to-knee artery. It may help improve blood flow symptoms and keep the artery from re-narrowing, but you must meet specific artery and health criteria.
This trial tests a laser device (Auryon) to clear blockages in leg arteries below the knee, compared to standard balloon angioplasty. It aims to improve blood flow and save the leg from amputation in people with severe peripheral artery disease.
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.
This trial checks how well a device called the Pantheris Small Vessel System works to treat blocked small blood vessels in the foot/leg. It may help people improve circulation, but you must meet specific health and follow-up requirements.
This study tests a special catheter to open blocked arteries in the thigh, knee, or lower leg. It may help improve blood flow and reduce symptoms like leg pain or wounds.
