Testing a drug-coated balloon for long leg artery blockages
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial is testing a special balloon coated with the drug paclitaxel to open up long blockages in the leg artery (femoropopliteal). The goal is to see if it is safe and effective for improving blood flow and symptoms like pain or ulcers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 19 years old
- You have leg symptoms like pain when walking, rest pain, or minor sores (Rutherford grade 2, 3, 4, or 5)
- The blockage in your leg artery is at least 70% narrow and the total length is 150 mm or longer
- The blocked section is in the upper leg artery (femoropopliteal) and the artery size is between 4 and 7 mm wide
- You are not allergic to the drug paclitaxel or to blood thinners, and you have not had surgery on that artery in the last 6 weeks
- You do not have a stent already in that blockage, an aneurysm, or active serious bleeding risk
