NCT ID NCT03206762
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two ways to treat blocked leg arteries in 47 people with leg pain when walking. One group had a special device to remove plaque (atherectomy) followed by a drug-coated balloon, while the other had standard balloon angioplasty followed by the same drug-coated balloon. The goal was to see which approach better kept arteries open and reduced the need for repeat procedures.
