Sudden limb blood loss in cancer patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a treatment can help cancer patients who develop a sudden, severe blockage in the blood flow to a limb (called acute limb ischemia). The study is focused on helping people whose circulation problem is related to their cancer, not from other causes like a liver tumor treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with cancer (not a non-cancerous growth).
- You have acute limb ischemia — a sudden loss of blood flow to an arm or leg.
- Your limb problem is not caused by a liver cancer treatment procedure that blocks blood vessels.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares a clot-busting medicine (staphylokinase) against surgery in people with sudden, dangerous reduced blood flow to a leg. It may help find a safer or more effective way to restore circulation and prevent limb complications.
This study uses painless, noninvasive tests to measure blood flow in people with chronic limb-threatening ischemia. It may help doctors better understand circulation problems and track blood flow without procedures.
This trial tests a new way to open blocked arteries below the knee in people with severe leg wounds due to poor blood flow (chronic limb-threatening ischemia). The goal is to help wounds heal and save the leg from amputation.
This study follows adults with very poor blood flow to the foot or leg (with wounds or severe pain) who are having a revascularization procedure to improve circulation. It may help doctors understand outcomes after treatment and improve care for people with critical limb ischemia.
This trial tests whether injecting stem cells from donated fat tissue can help people with severe blockages in leg arteries who cannot have surgery or angioplasty. The goal is to see if the treatment is safe and if it can improve blood flow and reduce pain or wounds.
This study tests a new way to restore blood flow to the leg in people who have wounds or dead tissue on their foot and have run out of other treatment options. It's for those who have already tried angioplasty twice without success or have severely hardened small arteries.
