Improving blood flow to the foot with toe pressure guidance
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to guide procedures that restore blood flow to the lower leg and foot in people with severe peripheral artery disease and non-healing wounds. The goal is to improve healing by optimizing blood pressure in the toes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must have severe narrowing or blockage in the arteries below the knee that is causing foot pain or wounds.
- Your wounds must be limited to the toes or front of the foot, and the limb must be considered salvageable (not needing immediate amputation).
- You must have never had a bypass surgery in the lower leg on the affected limb.
- You must not have another untreated blockage in the larger arteries above the knee that would limit blood flow.
- You must be expected to live at least one more year.
- You must not have a serious active infection in your bloodstream or an acute (sudden) loss of blood flow to the limb.

This study looks at how well blood flows through leg arteries after using a balloon to open blockages. It uses special measurements to check if the treatment fully restores blood flow, which may help guide future treatments.
This trial tests a new type of absorbable scaffold (like a temporary mesh) that is placed inside a blocked artery below the knee to restore blood flow. It is for people with severe leg pain or small ulcers due to chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLI) who have a short blockage in a specific artery.
This trial provides access to an experimental cell therapy called PLX-PAD for people with critical limb ischemia (CLI), a severe form of peripheral artery disease that causes leg pain and wounds that don't heal. The treatment aims to improve blood flow and help heal leg ulcers, potentially avoiding amputation.
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 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 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.
