Study of a drug-coated stent for blocked leg arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
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, cramps, or wounds caused by blocked arteries in your thigh or behind the knee.
- The blocked area is at least 70% narrowed and can be treated with one stent.
- You have not had a stent or drug-coated balloon in that same leg artery before.
- You are not allergic to the medications or materials used in the stent.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new stent (ZENFLEX Pro) to open blocked or narrowed arteries in the leg. If you have leg pain or sores from poor blood flow, this stent may help improve your symptoms and keep the artery open.
This trial looks at whether using a scraping device (atherectomy) followed by a drug-coated balloon works better for long blockages in the thigh-to-knee artery. It may help improve blood flow symptoms and keep the artery from re-narrowing, but you must meet specific artery and health criteria.
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 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.
This trial studies a “drug-coated balloon” procedure to improve blood flow in people with severe, long-lasting poor circulation in the lower leg arteries. It may help reduce repeat blockage after treatment for selected artery lesions below the knee.
This study compares two ways of preparing a blocked leg artery before using a drug-coated balloon to open it. It aims to see if using a special scoring balloon helps the treatment work better.
