Ultrasound guidance for leg artery treatment
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a special ultrasound probe inside the artery (intravascular ultrasound) helps doctors better treat blocked leg arteries. It may lead to more effective procedures for patients with leg pain or wounds due to poor blood flow.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You have symptoms of peripheral artery disease in your legs, such as leg pain when walking or a sore that won't heal.
- An angiogram shows a blockage of more than 50% in a leg artery.
- You are scheduled to have a procedure to open a blocked artery in your leg.

This trial studies a specific ultrasound-based treatment aimed at improving healing of severe circulation-related ulcers in the legs. It may help if you have poor blood flow and a wound that hasn’t improved despite usual care.
This study tests a special catheter to open blocked arteries in the thigh, knee, or lower leg. It may help improve blood flow and reduce symptoms like leg pain or wounds.
This study uses ultrasound to measure blood flow in the legs of people with PAD symptoms and healthy volunteers. It aims to improve how doctors assess peripheral arterial disease without invasive tests.
This study checks whether using a special ultrasound with contrast can improve blood flow in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). If you have leg circulation problems, it may help doctors measure and potentially enhance how well blood reaches your limb.
This trial tests a special preparation method (breaking up calcium) plus a Supera stent versus standard preparation plus stenting for people with severe calcium buildup and long blockages in the thigh or behind-the-knee artery. It aims to see which approach works better for opening the artery and keeping it open.
This trial is testing a special covered stent versus a drug-coated balloon to treat long or completely blocked arteries in the thigh and knee area. It aims to see which approach works better for patients with moderate to severe symptoms.
