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 However, the trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
