Artix device for recent leg artery blockages
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a device called Artix to remove blood clots from arteries in the leg that occurred within the last two weeks. It may help restore blood flow and avoid amputation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older
- Your leg symptoms started 14 days or less ago
- The blockage is in an artery below the groin area
- The blocked artery is your own (not a graft) and is 3 to 8 millimeters wide
- Your leg is still usable (Rutherford category I, IIa, or IIb)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a device called JETi® that uses a tiny jet of fluid to break up and remove blood clots in leg arteries. It may help people with sudden or recent leg artery blockages improve blood flow and avoid more serious complications.
This trial tests a device called the Protexus catheter, which removes blood clots and debris during leg artery procedures. It is for people with severe blockages below the knee who are already scheduled for balloon angioplasty or atherectomy.
This trial tests a new device called the Golazo® Atherectomy System that removes plaque from leg arteries to improve blood flow. It may help people with leg pain when walking or small wounds caused by blocked arteries.
This trial tests a combination of balloon and laser techniques to open blocked arteries in the legs. It may help improve blood flow and symptoms like pain or wounds that aren't healing.
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 study tests a device that vacuums out blood clots from blocked leg arteries, potentially restoring blood flow without open surgery.
