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 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.
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 tests a two-step treatment for long blockages in the leg artery: first, a device clears the plaque, then a drug-coated balloon is used to keep the artery open and prevent re-narrowing. It aims to improve blood flow and reduce symptoms like leg pain or wounds.
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 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.
