Study of blood vessel disease using advanced imaging and lab tests
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at people with peripheral artery disease (narrowed leg arteries) or carotid artery stenosis (narrowed neck arteries). It uses special lab tests and imaging to learn more about these conditions and improve future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with peripheral artery disease (narrowed arteries in the legs) or carotid artery stenosis (narrowed arteries in the neck).
- You have not had prior treatment like angioplasty (balloon) or stenting for these conditions.
- You do not have significant heart, liver, or kidney disease.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This registry study follows people with peripheral artery disease (blocked leg arteries), certain carotid artery narrowing, or an abdominal aortic aneurysm. It may help doctors better understand these conditions and improve care over time.
This study looks at an approach to better plan treatment for people with significant narrowing of the carotid artery (the main artery to the brain). It may help doctors choose safer, more effective care after surgery.
This study tests if using ultrasound to screen for blocked neck and head arteries can improve treatment plans for people getting heart artery stents. It aims to find hidden blockages and tailor therapy to reduce stroke and other risks.
This trial is testing a special ultrasound (called transcranial Doppler) to monitor blood flow during a procedure to open a narrowed carotid artery in your neck. The ultrasound helps doctors see if the procedure is safe and working well.
This trial tests a special balloon (IVL) to treat hardened plaque in the neck arteries that supply blood to the brain. It is for people who need a stent but whose previous balloon treatment did not work well.
This study tests a new ultrasound technique that creates clearer images of blood vessels. It may help doctors better diagnose and understand peripheral artery disease, which affects blood flow to the legs.
