Saving kidney function during leg artery treatment with carbon dioxide
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests if using carbon dioxide gas instead of standard dye during a leg artery procedure can protect the kidneys. It is for people with blocked leg arteries who also have reduced kidney function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have leg pain or wounds from poor blood flow (peripheral artery disease) and need a procedure to open the arteries in your leg.
- Your kidney function is lower than normal, with an eGFR level below 60, and you are at higher risk for kidney damage from the usual dye.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are able to give permission for the study.
- You are not on dialysis and your kidney function is not less than 30 eGFR.

This study uses MRI to guide treatment of blocked leg arteries below the knee, aiming to improve blood flow and reduce severe pain or sores.
This trial tests whether a simple “arm conditioning” technique done remotely before a procedure can help prevent kidney injury caused by contrast dye used during certain heart catheter tests. You might benefit if you’re having a coronary angiogram and your kidney function is reduced, but you’re not on dialysis.
This trial tests whether a simple “arm cuff” treatment done before a heart artery procedure can help protect the kidneys and the heart in people with congestive heart failure. If it works, it may lower the chance of kidney injury around the time of the scan/stent procedure.
This trial uses a special ultrasound camera inside the heart's arteries to guide stent placement for people with chronic kidney disease. The goal is to see if this approach improves outcomes compared to standard methods.
This trial uses a special CT scan (coronary CTA with HeartFlow analysis) to look for hidden blockages in the heart arteries of people who recently had a leg artery procedure. It may help detect heart problems early so they can be treated.
This trial tests whether using a special ultrasound camera inside the artery (IVUS) to guide stent placement can improve outcomes for people with serious kidney disease. The goal is to use less contrast dye and protect the kidneys better.
