New shockwave balloon tested for blocked leg arteries – study halted early
Disease control
Terminated
This study tested a special balloon that uses shockwaves to break up hard calcium deposits in leg arteries. It was designed for people with severe leg pain or wounds due to blocked arteries. The study was stopped early after enrolling only 9 people, so results are limited.
