Iliac vein stenting for chronic post-thrombotic venous ulcers
Part of Heart & circulation, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether placing a stent (a small mesh tube) in the iliac vein can help heal chronic leg ulcers caused by prior blood clots. The goal is to improve blood flow and reduce symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a leg ulcer (open sore) that has not healed for more than 6 weeks.
- The ulcer must be caused by a condition called post-thrombotic syndrome, which happens after a blood clot in the leg.
- Imaging tests must show a blockage in the iliac vein (a large vein in the pelvis).
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be able to understand and agree to the trial procedures.

Similar studies
Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at people with narrowed or blocked arteries in the pelvis (iliac arteries) who receive a stent to improve blood flow. It aims to understand which factors might predict future serious problems in the legs, like worsening pain or amputation.
This trial looks at whether taking a blood thinner and an additional clot-prevention medicine (antiplatelet) after iliac vein stenting can improve treatment of certain deep vein clots. It may help prevent the clot from coming back or spreading, but it also increases bleeding risk, so careful eligibility screening is important.
This trial compares a procedure that removes blood clots from deep veins in the leg (aspiration) combined with blood thinners versus blood thinners alone. The goal is to see if removing the clot helps prevent long-term leg swelling and complications.
This study tests whether an implanted “vein valve” system can improve blood flow in people with painful chronic venous valve leakage in the thigh/knee veins. It also checks if the procedure and follow-up are safe and workable, especially with blood-thinner medicines before and after.
This study tests a new stent (a tiny mesh tube) to open blocked arteries in the pelvis or thigh area. It may help improve blood flow and reduce leg pain or wounds.
This study tests a new way to treat long-standing blood clots in the leg using ultrasound waves and a balloon procedure. It aims to improve blood flow and reduce symptoms like swelling and pain for people who haven't gotten better with standard treatments.
