Drug-coated balloon for leg artery blockages
This trial tests a drug-coated balloon to open blocked or narrowed arteries in the leg (above the knee). It may help improve blood flow and reduce symptoms like pain or sores.

This trial tests whether a drug-coated balloon can better reopen blocked arteries in the lower leg (below the knee). It may help keep blood flow open and reduce the chance the blockage comes back, after a procedure to cross and open the narrowed area.
This study compares two ways to open a blocked leg artery: using a drug-coated balloon after first clearing the blockage (debulking) versus using the balloon alone. The goal is to see which approach helps your leg stay open longer.
This trial compares a special drug-coated balloon/stent strategy versus a standard stent approach for people with blocked thigh artery segments. It aims to improve how long the artery stays open and reduces repeat procedures.
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 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.
This trial tests a special balloon coated with sirolimus (a drug that helps prevent arteries from re-closing) versus a standard balloon for opening blocked arteries below the knee in people with severe leg pain or foot wounds. The goal is to see if the drug-coated balloon works better to keep the artery open longer.
