Balloon battle: which device keeps leg arteries open longer?
NCT ID NCT03884257
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a new drug-coated balloon (Passeo-18 Lux) is as safe and effective as an existing one (IN.PACT Admiral) for opening blocked leg arteries in people with peripheral artery disease. About 302 participants with moderate to severe symptoms are randomly assigned to receive one of the two balloons during a minimally invasive procedure. The balloons deliver a drug to help keep the artery from narrowing again, and patients are followed for 12 months to check for repeat blockages or complications.
