New balloon treatment shows promise for leg artery disease
NCT ID NCT05556681
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a special balloon coated with sirolimus, a drug that helps keep arteries open, in 34 people with peripheral artery disease (narrowed leg arteries). The goal was to see if the balloon is safe and works well at improving blood flow and symptoms like leg pain. Participants had one or two blockages in their leg arteries and were followed for six months.
