Study of an experimental bypass graft for blocked leg arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of artificial blood vessel for people with severely blocked leg arteries who need bypass surgery. It aims to see if this device is safe and works well for restoring blood flow to the leg.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have blocked or narrowed leg arteries that require surgery to bypass the blockage.
- Your blockage must be severe (Rutherford grade 3 or 4) and in a location that fits the study criteria (TASC C or D).
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- Your artery shape must be suitable for the new device, based on a CT scan or angiogram done within the last 90 days.
- You must agree to attend follow-up visits and have an angiogram after the procedure.
- You must have a life expectancy of at least 2 years.
- You cannot have had a heart attack or stroke in the past 6 weeks, severe kidney failure, or other serious health issues that could interfere with the study.

This is a real-world observational study that follows people who get minimally invasive procedures to treat blocked arteries in the lower abdomen and pelvis. It aims to understand how well these treatments work in the middle and long term.
This trial tests a special balloon that releases medication to help keep leg arteries open. It's for people with narrowed or blocked arteries in the leg, either above or below the knee.
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 study tests a new catheter system that removes blood clots and clears blockages in the arteries below the knee. The goal is to improve blood flow to the foot and help people with severe leg pain or wounds.
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 compares two ways to open a blocked artery in the thigh or behind the knee. Both are minimally invasive procedures, and the goal is to see which one works better for long or complex blockages, possibly improving blood flow and reducing leg pain.
