Measuring leg muscle blood flow in PAD patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial uses special scans to check blood flow and oxygen levels in the leg muscles of people with serious PAD who are about to have a procedure to open up their leg arteries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with peripheral artery disease (PAD) at stage 4, 5, or 6 on the Rutherford scale.
- Your doctor has recommended a procedure to open up blocked leg arteries (called lower extremity revascularization, or LER).
- You have not had a similar procedure on the same leg before.
- You do not have tattoos on the leg or foot that will be treated.
- You are not pregnant.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses a noninvasive light scanner to measure oxygen levels in leg tissues. It may help detect blocked leg arteries (peripheral artery disease) more easily.
This study tests a special camera (SnapshotNIR) that takes pictures of blood flow in your legs while you move them into different positions. It may help doctors better understand your circulation and diagnose peripheral artery disease (PAD) without needles or dye.
This study uses ultrasound to measure blood flow in the legs of people with PAD symptoms and healthy volunteers. It aims to improve how doctors assess peripheral arterial disease without invasive tests.
This study uses a special light-based device to measure oxygen levels in your tissues during vascular surgery. It aims to see if this device can help doctors monitor blood flow more effectively during the operation, which could improve outcomes.
This trial tests whether using a special ultrasound probe inside the artery (intravascular ultrasound) helps doctors better treat blocked leg arteries. It may lead to more effective procedures for patients with leg pain or wounds due to poor blood flow.
This study checks whether using a special ultrasound with contrast can improve blood flow in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). If you have leg circulation problems, it may help doctors measure and potentially enhance how well blood reaches your limb.
