New drug-coated stent for thigh artery disease
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new drug-coated stent to improve blood flow in the thigh artery for people with leg pain or discomfort from narrowed arteries. It aims to see if the stent is safe and works well.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You have leg pain or discomfort when walking or at rest due to narrowed arteries (diagnosed as Rutherford class 2-4).
- The blockage is in your thigh artery (above the knee) and is up to about 6 inches long.
- You do not have open wounds or tissue loss in your leg or foot.
- You are not allergic to the metals, medications, or contrast dye used in the procedure.

This trial tests a special balloon coated with a drug (paclitaxel) to open blocked leg arteries, aiming to improve blood flow and reduce symptoms like leg pain when walking. It is for people with moderate to severe leg artery disease who have not had prior stents or bypass in the treated area.
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.
This trial studies how well a self-expanding stent works long-term for people with complex blockages in the upper thigh artery near the groin split. It may help improve blood flow and outcomes if standard treatment is needed in that specific artery area.
This trial compares a special drug-coated balloon/stent strategy versus a standard stent approach for people with blocked thigh artery segments. It aims to improve how long the artery stays open and reduces repeat procedures.
This study tests whether a special “drug-eluting” stent placed in a leg artery works safely and improves blood flow for people with peripheral artery disease. It may help reduce re-narrowing and improve walking, depending on your blockage details and overall health.
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.
