NCT ID NCT03404895
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study was designed to see if placing a stent in a blocked leg vein could help heal diabetic foot ulcers in people with diabetes and leg swelling. Patients would have received standard wound care plus either a stent or no stent. However, the trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.

stent
What this could lead to
If it had worked, this could have pointed toward a new treatment to help heal diabetic foot ulcers and reduce amputations.
What could go wrong
The trial was withdrawn before any patients were enrolled, so no data exists. Even if conducted, stenting is not standard care and carries risks like infection or vein damage.
