MRI-Guided Treatment for Severe Leg Artery Blockages
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older with severe peripheral artery disease (PAD) causing pain at rest or sores on your leg or foot.
- You have at least one narrowed or blocked artery below the knee, between 2.0 and 4.0 mm in diameter.
- That artery is at least 50% blocked.
- You do not have mild or moderate PAD (Rutherford categories 0–3).
- You are able to have an MRI (no metal implants or pacemaker, not claustrophobic).
- For this part of the study, the blockage must not be completely closed off (chronic total occlusion).

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 tests a special catheter to open blocked arteries in the thigh, knee, or lower leg. It may help improve blood flow and reduce symptoms like leg pain or wounds.
This trial tests a new device that uses sound waves to break up calcium deposits in leg arteries, helping to improve blood flow and reduce symptoms like leg pain or wounds. It is for people with significant blockages above or below the knee.
This study looks at results of a minimally invasive procedure done inside blood vessels (endovascular therapy) for people with painful or worsening leg artery disease. It uses both past (retrospective) and future (prospective) patient information to better understand outcomes.
This study tests whether using a special ultrasound probe inside the artery during a leg procedure helps doctors open blockages more safely and effectively. It aims to improve blood flow and save the leg for people with severe peripheral artery disease who have pain, wounds, or gangrene.
This trial tests if using a special pressure-sensing wire during treatment of blocked leg arteries below the knee can improve outcomes for people with severe circulation problems that threaten the limb. It aims to help patients with Rutherford category 5 chronic limb threatening ischemia.
