New stent aims to keep leg arteries open longer

NCT ID NCT06410313

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early study tests a new stent coated with a drug called ridaforolimus in 30 people with blocked arteries in the thigh or knee area. The stent is designed to prop the artery open and slowly release medication to prevent it from narrowing again. Participants will be followed for three years to see if the artery stays open and if the treatment is safe.

What this could lead to

If successful, this stent could offer a new option to keep leg arteries open longer, reducing the need for repeat procedures.
