Testing a paclitaxel-coated balloon for leg artery disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have leg symptoms like pain or cramping when walking, rated as moderate to severe by your doctor.
- You have a new or returning blockage in the upper leg artery (above the knee) that is at least 60% narrowed.
- The blockage is less than 6 inches long and can be covered by a single drug-coated balloon.
- You have at least one open artery below the knee to allow blood flow to the foot.
- You do not have certain medical issues like recent bleeding, kidney disease on dialysis, or cancer that is not treated.

This trial tests a drug-coated balloon to open narrowed or blocked arteries in the lower leg (below the knee) and help them stay open. It’s meant for people with significant symptoms, to reduce re-narrowing after treatment.
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 study tests a new balloon device that scores the artery walls to treat leg artery blockages with heavy calcium deposits. It aims to see if the device helps prepare the vessel safely and effectively before placing a stent.
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 is testing a special balloon coated with the drug paclitaxel to open up long blockages in the leg artery (femoropopliteal). The goal is to see if it is safe and effective for improving blood flow and symptoms like pain or ulcers.
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.
