CT imaging to guide leg artery treatment
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a special CT scan to look at blood flow in the legs before and after you have a procedure to open blocked arteries. The goal is to see if this imaging can help doctors plan your treatment and improve your results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of peripheral artery disease (PAD), which is narrowing of blood vessels in your legs.
- You are already scheduled to have a procedure to restore blood flow (such as angioplasty, stenting, or surgery).
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You are not allergic to the contrast dye used in CT scans.
- Your kidney function is good enough (not severely reduced).
- You are willing to attend follow-up visits for 2 years and have no other major health problems that would limit your life to less than 2 years.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses a special “radiotracer” scan to look at how well blood flows through the arteries in the legs. It may help researchers better understand circulation problems from peripheral artery disease.
This trial uses a special CT scan (coronary CTA with HeartFlow analysis) to look for hidden blockages in the heart arteries of people who recently had a leg artery procedure. It may help detect heart problems early so they can be treated.
This study looks at how blood flows in the legs of people with peripheral artery disease (narrowed leg arteries) compared to healthy people. It uses CT scans to create 3D models, which may help doctors understand the disease better and could lead to better treatments.
This study is looking at how common blockages in leg arteries (peripheral artery disease, or PAD) are in people who are having surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis or had surgery less than 3 months ago. If you qualify, it may help doctors better understand and treat this condition.
This trial studies a heart CT scan technique to help doctors better understand coronary artery blockages. It may help guide treatment choices for people with angina (chest pain) who are at intermediate to high risk.
This trial is testing whether a special heart CT scan (coronary CT angiography) can help doctors better understand and treat calcium buildup in your heart arteries. If you have a type of heart disease that might need a stent or other procedure, this study could help decide the best approach.
