Stent study for severe leg pain or wounds
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new stent to improve blood flow in blocked leg arteries causing severe pain or tissue loss. It may help if you have a long blockage in the upper leg but not below the knee.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have severe leg pain, sores, or tissue damage from poor blood flow (Rutherford class 4, 5, or 6).
- You are 18 years or older.
- You agree to join the study and sign a consent form.
- Your artery blockage is new or came back without a prior stent and is at least 70% blocked or completely blocked.
- The blockage is above the knee, not in below-the-knee arteries.
- The blocked section is longer than 220 millimeters.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares a new type of stent that slowly releases medication to standard balloon angioplasty for improving blood flow in the leg arteries below the knee. It is for people with severe leg pain at rest or non-healing foot wounds due to critical limb ischemia, aiming to save the limb and improve symptoms.
This study tests a new bioresorbable scaffold (like a temporary mesh) that slowly dissolves, releasing medication to keep your below-the-knee artery open. It is for people with severely blocked leg arteries causing pain or wounds at rest (Rutherford 4 or 5).
This trial tests a new dissolvable stent that slowly releases medicine to keep your lower-leg artery open. It is for people with severe leg pain or small wounds due to poor blood flow, and who are not eligible for other stents.
This study tests a special balloon to open blocked arteries below the knee in people with severe leg pain or wounds. It aims to improve blood flow and save the limb from amputation.
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 a new “smart” stent placed in the thigh-to-knee artery to treat significant blockages. It may help improve blood flow to the foot, and you would be followed closely to see how well the stent works over time.
