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.

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 tests a two-step treatment for long blockages in the leg artery: first, a device clears the plaque, then a drug-coated balloon is used to keep the artery open and prevent re-narrowing. It aims to improve blood flow and reduce symptoms like leg pain or wounds.
This study compares a laser-like device (Auryon) used with balloon angioplasty to balloon angioplasty alone for treating blocked arteries in the lower leg. The goal is to improve blood flow and reduce leg pain or help heal wounds.
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 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.
This study is testing a new drug-coated stent for blocked arteries in the thigh or behind the knee. It may help people with moderate to severe leg pain or wounds by improving blood flow without needing surgery.
