Could a new stent help your leg vein blockage?
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new stent designed to open blocked or narrowed veins in the leg, which can cause swelling, pain, or skin changes. If you have such symptoms, this treatment might improve blood flow and relieve your discomfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have a blocked or narrowed vein in your leg (at least 75% blocked) that is causing symptoms, confirmed by imaging tests.
- Your symptoms should fall into categories C3 to C6, meaning you have swelling, skin changes, or ulcers due to vein problems.
- You must be willing to attend follow-up visits and sign a consent form.
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding, and you must be able to take blood-thinning medication.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study compares a new balloon-expandable stent to standard bare-metal stenting to treat complex blockages in the iliac arteries (main blood vessels to the legs). It may help people with symptoms like leg pain with walking, pain at rest, or minor tissue injury by improving blood flow and reducing repeat procedures.
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 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 is a registry (a study that tracks patient information) for adults who get a vein stent to improve blocked blood flow in major veins. It may help doctors better understand how vein stents are used for these problems over time.
This study compares two ways to open a blocked artery in the leg: using a special balloon that releases medicine to prevent re-blockage, versus placing a small metal tube (stent) coated with medicine. The goal is to see which approach better keeps the artery open and relieves leg symptoms.
