Long-term follow-up of smart stents for leg artery disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks back at people who had a S.M.A.R.T. stent placed in their leg arteries to see how well the stent worked over the long term (at least 5 years). By reviewing your medical records, researchers hope to learn more about the safety and effectiveness of this stent.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were treated with a S.M.A.R.T. stent in your iliac, superficial femoral, or proximal popliteal artery (leg arteries).
- It has been at least 5 years since your stent procedure, or you have follow-up data for 5 years or until death.
- You agree to share your medical data (or a consent waiver was approved by your hospital).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding at the time of the procedure.
- You were 18 years or older when the stent was placed.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new stent for people with narrowing or blockage of the iliac artery, which is the main artery in your hip that supplies blood to your legs. The goal is to see if the stent is safe and can open the artery to improve blood flow and reduce leg pain.
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.
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.
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 study compares a new balloon-expandable stent to standard bare-metal stenting to treat complex blockages in the iliac arteries (main blood vessels to the legs). It may help people with symptoms like leg pain with walking, pain at rest, or minor tissue injury by improving blood flow and reducing repeat procedures.
This trial tests a new dissolvable stent that slowly releases medicine to keep your lower-leg artery open. It is for people with severe leg pain or small wounds due to poor blood flow, and who are not eligible for other stents.
