New artificial blood vessel for leg and belly artery bypass
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of artificial blood vessel (graft) for people who need a bypass or replacement of an artery in the belly, leg, or groin. The goal is to see if it works well to restore blood flow when a person's own vein is not available.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old.
- You need a bypass or replacement of an artery in your belly, leg, or groin area (for reasons like poor blood flow, infection, injury, or a tear).
- If the bypass is for poor blood flow in your leg, your symptoms must be severe (like pain at rest or sores on your foot or toes), and your ankle-brachial index must be 0.6 or lower.
- You must have at least one open artery below the knee that reaches the ankle, with good blood flow to the foot.
- You must not have a healthy enough great saphenous vein (a large leg vein) to use for the bypass.
- You must be willing and able to give informed consent and come to all follow-up visits.

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.
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.
This study tests two treatments for long blockages in the leg arteries (femoropopliteal). It compares a special stent-graft coated with heparin to a drug-coated balloon to see which better restores blood flow and reduces symptoms. You may benefit if you have significant leg pain or wounds from poor circulation.
This study tests a new way to restore blood flow to the leg in people who have wounds or dead tissue on their foot and have run out of other treatment options. It's for those who have already tried angioplasty twice without success or have severely hardened small arteries.
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure to open severely blocked arteries in the lower belly and pelvis. It aims to improve blood flow and reduce leg pain, helping patients who have not gotten enough relief from other treatments.
This trial tests a new synthetic blood vessel graft that connects an artery to a vein in your arm to create a reliable spot for dialysis. It's for people with kidney failure who need long-term dialysis but can't have the usual fistula made from their own blood vessels.
