Testing a new blood vessel for leg bypass surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of artificial blood vessel (called the XPAD conduit) for people who need a bypass in their leg above the knee. It aims to see if it can safely restore blood flow and improve symptoms like leg pain or wounds.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a blocked artery in your thigh (above the knee) and need bypass surgery.
- You have moderate to severe leg pain, or a wound on your foot or leg due to poor blood flow.
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You have not had a bypass surgery in the same leg before.
- You have not had a stroke or heart attack in the last six weeks, and you do not have severe kidney disease.

This trial tests a new synthetic bypass graft for people with advanced leg artery blockages. It may help avoid using your own veins for surgery and could improve blood flow to your legs.
This trial is testing a new way to check the quality of leg bypass surgery while you're still in the operating room, using a special device. It may help ensure the bypass is working well right away, which could reduce the risk of future problems.
This trial tests a special balloon that releases medication to help keep leg arteries open. It's for people with narrowed or blocked arteries in the leg, either above or below the knee.
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 special balloon catheter to open blocked arteries below the knee in people with severe leg pain or wounds that won't heal. The goal is to improve blood flow and save the leg from amputation.
This trial is testing a special covered stent versus a drug-coated balloon to treat long or completely blocked arteries in the thigh and knee area. It aims to see which approach works better for patients with moderate to severe symptoms.
