NCT ID NCT07694050
First seen Jul 09, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study compares two ways to access blocked leg arteries during a procedure to restore blood flow: through the arm (brachial artery) or the groin (femoral artery). The goal is to see which approach leads to fewer complications, such as bleeding or artery damage. Participants are aged 60 or older with blocked leg arteries needing treatment. Doctors will track complications within 72 hours after the procedure.
