Vessel recoil study for below-knee artery disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new device called the Spur to open blocked arteries below the knee in people with severe leg pain or minor wounds. It is specifically for people who also have diabetes or are on dialysis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have symptoms of critical limb ischemia, like rest pain or minor tissue loss (non-healing wound)
- You have a blocked or narrowed artery below the knee (in your lower leg)
- You either have diabetes with good kidney function (eGFR 25 or higher) OR you have been on dialysis for at least 6 months
- You do not have an active infection, a wound above the ankle, or a past major amputation above the ankle on the affected leg

This study tests a balloon coated with medication to open blocked arteries below the knee in people with severe leg pain or tissue loss (critical limb-threatening ischemia). The goal is to see if it helps improve blood flow and save the leg.
This trial tests a new way to open blocked arteries below the knee in people with severe leg wounds due to poor blood flow (chronic limb-threatening ischemia). The goal is to help wounds heal and save the leg from amputation.
This trial tests a special scaffold that slowly releases medicine to open blocked arteries below the knee. It is for people whose leg pain or wounds are severe enough to threaten the limb.
This trial tests whether a drug-coated balloon can better reopen blocked arteries in the lower leg (below the knee). It may help keep blood flow open and reduce the chance the blockage comes back, after a procedure to cross and open the narrowed area.
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 trial tests a new type of absorbable scaffold (like a temporary mesh) that is placed inside a blocked artery below the knee to restore blood flow. It is for people with severe leg pain or small ulcers due to chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLI) who have a short blockage in a specific artery.
