Medicine-coated balloon for leg artery disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a special balloon coated with medicine to open blocked leg arteries. It may help improve blood flow and reduce pain when walking or at rest.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have leg pain or cramping that limits walking or bothers you even when resting (but no open sores or tissue damage yet).
- The blockage is in your thigh or upper knee artery, and there is no stent already in that spot.
- You are 18 years or older and can agree to the study rules.
- If you could become pregnant, you must have a negative pregnancy test and be willing to use birth control for one year after the procedure.
- You are not in another research study for a drug or device that is still ongoing.
- You are expected to live at least one year or more.

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 study compares two ways of preparing a blocked leg artery before placing a drug-coated balloon. The balloon helps keep the artery open, and the study looks at whether using an extra scoring balloon or a special cutting balloon leads to better outcomes.
This trial tests a special balloon coated with a drug (paclitaxel) to open blocked leg arteries, aiming to improve blood flow and reduce symptoms like leg pain when walking. It is for people with moderate to severe leg artery disease who have not had prior stents or bypass in the treated area.
This trial is testing a special balloon coated with a drug (paclitaxel) to treat narrowed or blocked arteries in the leg. It aims to see how well this balloon works to keep the artery open.
This trial tests a drug-coated balloon to open blocked or narrowed arteries in the thigh or behind the knee. The drug may help keep the artery open longer.
