New ultrasound technique aims to save limbs in artery disease patients
NCT ID NCT06979284
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether using a tiny ultrasound camera inside the leg arteries during a procedure to open blockages can prevent major problems like amputation or the artery narrowing again. About 772 adults with severe peripheral artery disease (chronic limb-threatening ischemia) will be randomly assigned to get the standard X-ray guidance or the extra ultrasound guidance. The goal is to see if the ultrasound approach leads to fewer serious events over time.
