Peripheral intravascular lithotripsy study for peripheral artery disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new device that uses sound waves to break up calcium in leg arteries, helping to improve blood flow in people with peripheral artery disease. It may offer a new way to treat blocked leg arteries without major surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be over 18 years old.
- You should have symptoms of peripheral artery disease, such as leg pain when walking or non-healing sores on your feet.
- You need to have a blocked leg artery that is at least 70% narrowed and has calcium buildup.
- You must be healthy enough for an angiography procedure, and have a life expectancy of more than one year.
- You cannot have had a recent heart attack or stroke, or be on dialysis, and you must not be pregnant.

This trial tests a combination of balloon and laser techniques to open blocked arteries in the legs. It may help improve blood flow and symptoms like pain or wounds that aren't healing.
This trial studies a device-based treatment approach for people with blocked (narrowed or fully blocked) arteries in the thigh or behind the knee that reduce blood flow to the leg. It may help improve blood flow and walking ability, but you must meet specific artery and imaging requirements.
This study tests a new balloon device that scores the artery walls to treat leg artery blockages with heavy calcium deposits. It aims to see if the device helps prepare the vessel safely and effectively before placing a stent.
This study tests a new device that uses sound waves (lithotripsy) to break up hard calcium deposits in leg arteries for people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). It aims to safely open blocked arteries and improve blood flow, potentially reducing pain and improving walking.
This trial tests a new approach to treat severe, hardened blockages in the leg arteries. It may help people with painful leg symptoms or wounds that won't heal.
This trial tests a special preparation method (breaking up calcium) plus a Supera stent versus standard preparation plus stenting for people with severe calcium buildup and long blockages in the thigh or behind-the-knee artery. It aims to see which approach works better for opening the artery and keeping it open.
