Effect of Leg Artery Blockage Treatment on Blood Pressure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how treating blocked arteries in the lower belly and groin area affects blood pressure. If you have a long blockage in your main artery or the arteries to your legs that causes pain or trouble walking, this trial may help understand if treatment improves your blood pressure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a complete blockage in the lower part of your main artery (aorta) or in one or both of the arteries that go to your legs (common iliac arteries).
- The blocked area is at least 30 mm (about 1.2 inches) long.
- You have severe leg pain at rest or disabling leg cramps when walking, and trying supervised exercise therapy hasn't helped enough.
- You are willing to follow the study's schedule and understand what is involved.

This trial tests a specific stent system (BeGraft) to improve blood flow through the aorta and iliac arteries in people with symptomatic peripheral artery disease. It may help reduce symptoms and improve leg circulation, based on the study device’s ability to fit your artery anatomy.
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 looks at people with narrowed or blocked arteries in the pelvis (iliac arteries) who receive a stent to improve blood flow. It aims to understand which factors might predict future serious problems in the legs, like worsening pain or amputation.
This study compares two ways to treat long blockages in the superficial femoral artery (a main artery in the thigh): bypass surgery versus an endovascular (stent/through-a-vessel) procedure. It may help people with painful leg claudication to choose the approach most likely to keep blood flowing and improve symptoms.
This study is testing different treatments for people with hardened arteries in the legs that cause moderate to severe symptoms like pain, difficulty walking, or sores. The goal is to see which treatment works best to improve blood flow and quality of life.
This trial tests a balloon-expandable covered stent to treat blockages in the iliac artery (a major blood vessel in your pelvis). It may be an option for people with leg pain from poor blood flow.
