Study of a drug-coated balloon for leg artery disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a special balloon coated with medication to open up blocked arteries below the knee in people with serious leg circulation problems. It aims to improve blood flow and avoid amputation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have severe leg pain at rest or non-healing sores on your foot or leg.
- Your blocked artery is in the lower leg and no more than about 7.5 inches long.

This study tests a balloon coated with medication to open blocked arteries below the knee in people with severe leg pain or tissue loss (critical limb-threatening ischemia). The goal is to see if it helps improve blood flow and save the leg.
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 trial uses a special balloon (Shockwave IVL) to break up calcium in leg artery blockages, improving blood flow and reducing pain. It's for people with moderate to severe calcium buildup in the femoropopliteal artery.
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 tests a drug-coated balloon to open blocked or narrowed arteries in the leg (above the knee). It may help improve blood flow and reduce symptoms like pain or sores.
This trial is testing a special balloon coated with a drug (paclitaxel) to treat narrowed or blocked arteries in the leg. It aims to see how well this balloon works to keep the artery open.
