Testing Super-Resolution Ultrasound for Peripheral Artery Disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new ultrasound technique that creates clearer images of blood vessels. It may help doctors better diagnose and understand peripheral artery disease, which affects blood flow to the legs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 100 years old.
- You have peripheral artery disease (PAD), including symptoms like leg pain when walking or at rest, weak pulses, or abnormal test results from prior imaging or ankle-brachial index (ABI).
- OR you are a healthy adult (with normal ABI, no PAD symptoms, and no history of heart or blood vessel disease) who can still complete the study procedures.
- You are willing and able to provide written informed consent.
- You do not have severe movement disorders (like advanced Parkinson's), an allergy to the ultrasound contrast agent (SonoVue), or an active leg infection.
- You do not have cognitive impairment or legal incapacity that prevents you from consenting.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses a special “radiotracer” scan to look at how well blood flows through the arteries in the legs. It may help researchers better understand circulation problems from peripheral artery disease.
This trial tests a new device that uses sound waves to break up calcium deposits in leg arteries, helping to improve blood flow and reduce symptoms like leg pain or wounds. It is for people with significant blockages above or below the knee.
This registry study follows people with peripheral artery disease (blocked leg arteries), certain carotid artery narrowing, or an abdominal aortic aneurysm. It may help doctors better understand these conditions and improve care over time.
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 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 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.
