Stent for blocked leg arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of stent (called ZENFLEX Pro) to open blocked arteries in the leg. The stent helps improve blood flow and may reduce leg pain and help wounds heal, and may be a good option if your blockage is in the thigh or behind the knee.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have leg pain or cramping when walking (or pain at rest, or non-healing sores) due to blocked leg arteries.
- The blocked area is in the main thigh artery or the artery just behind the knee.
- You have not had a previous stent placed in the same leg artery.
- You do not have severe kidney disease or are not on dialysis.
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or take blood thinners that cannot be stopped.
- You have not had a heart attack, stroke, or other major medical event in the last 3 months.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study is testing a new drug-coated stent for blocked arteries in the thigh or behind the knee. It may help people with moderate to severe leg pain or wounds by improving blood flow without needing surgery.
This trial studies a new “smart” stent placed in the thigh-to-knee artery to treat significant blockages. It may help improve blood flow to the foot, and you would be followed closely to see how well the stent works over time.
This study compares a new balloon-expandable stent to standard bare-metal stenting to treat complex blockages in the iliac arteries (main blood vessels to the legs). It may help people with symptoms like leg pain with walking, pain at rest, or minor tissue injury by improving blood flow and reducing repeat procedures.
This study tests a new catheter system that removes blood clots and clears blockages in the arteries below the knee. The goal is to improve blood flow to the foot and help people with severe leg pain or wounds.
This trial follows how well the RenZan stent works and how safe it is for people with blocked or badly narrowed thigh-to-knee leg arteries. It may help by improving blood flow and adding careful monitoring to see how outcomes compare over time.
This trial studies a drug-eluting dissolving scaffold placed in blocked arteries below the knee to improve blood flow. It may help people whose leg circulation problems are severe enough to limit walking or threaten the limb, but only if their blockages fit specific imaging and procedure requirements.
