New balloon could keep leg arteries open longer
NCT ID NCT05734157
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a special balloon coated with the drug everolimus to treat blockages in the leg's main arteries. The balloon is inflated inside the artery to push the blockage open and release the drug to help prevent the artery from narrowing again. The trial included 75 people with blocked or narrowed femoral or popliteal arteries. The goal was to see if the balloon is safe and effective at keeping the artery open and reducing the need for repeat treatments.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
everolimus-coated balloon
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a better way to treat blocked leg arteries, reducing the chance of repeat blockages and the need for further procedures.
What could go wrong
This is a first-in-human study with only 75 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The balloon may not keep arteries open as hoped, and there are risks like vessel damage or allergic reactions.
