Skin blood flow study in leg artery disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial uses a special device to measure tiny blood vessels in the skin of patients with severe leg artery disease. It aims to understand how blood flow changes before and after a common treatment to open blocked leg arteries (angioplasty).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have severe leg artery disease causing symptoms like pain, ulcers, or tissue loss (Rutherford grade 3 to 6).
- You have blockages in the arteries below the groin, but the main artery to the front of the foot is open.
- You are scheduled for a planned procedure to open a leg artery (angioplasty).
- You do not have an active skin infection on the foot, lower leg, or hand.

This study uses a noninvasive light scanner to measure oxygen levels in leg tissues. It may help detect blocked leg arteries (peripheral artery disease) more easily.
This study looks at how well blood flows through leg arteries after using a balloon to open blockages. It uses special measurements to check if the treatment fully restores blood flow, which may help guide future treatments.
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 uses special scans to check blood flow and oxygen levels in the leg muscles of people with serious PAD who are about to have a procedure to open up their leg arteries.
This study tests a new way to restore blood flow to the leg in people who have wounds or dead tissue on their foot and have run out of other treatment options. It's for those who have already tried angioplasty twice without success or have severely hardened small arteries.
This trial checks how well a device called the Pantheris Small Vessel System works to treat blocked small blood vessels in the foot/leg. It may help people improve circulation, but you must meet specific health and follow-up requirements.
