Acute limb ischemia in cancer patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at cancer patients who also have acute limb ischemia (a sudden blockage of blood flow to the leg). The goal is to understand how these conditions interact and to improve treatment approaches for patients facing both cancer and a limb emergency.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have cancer that is active (not just benign or non-cancerous tumors).
- You must have acute limb ischemia, which is a sudden loss of blood flow to your leg.
- Your leg blockage should not be caused by a chemoembolization procedure.
- You need to be seen at the Vascular and Endovascular Surgery department at Assiut University.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study tests a new way to restore blood flow in the lower leg for people with chronic limb-threatening ischemia, a serious condition where leg wounds won't heal due to poor circulation. If it works, this treatment could help save the leg and avoid amputation.
This study looks at what happens to people who have a stroke while they also have active cancer. By tracking their recovery, doctors hope to learn better ways to care for patients with both conditions.
This trial tests whether using a special ultrasound probe inside the arteries (called IVUS) during a procedure to open blocked vessels below the knee can improve outcomes for patients with critical limb ischemia — a serious lack of blood flow that causes pain, sores, or gangrene. If you qualify, the procedure may help heal your wounds and relieve pain.
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.
This study looks at small molecules called miRNAs in the blood of people with severe leg artery disease (critical limb ischemia) or belly aortic aneurysm. The goal is to find patterns that may help doctors better understand and treat these conditions.
