New stent study aims to keep leg arteries open and prevent amputations
NCT ID NCT04110327
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is following 300 people with peripheral artery disease who received the MicroStent, a small mesh tube placed in leg arteries to improve blood flow. Researchers are tracking how well the arteries stay open over time and whether patients avoid major complications like amputation or the need for additional procedures. The goal is to see how the stent performs in everyday medical practice.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
MicroStent peripheral vascular stent system (a small mesh tube placed in leg arteries to keep them open)
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could confirm that the MicroStent is a safe and effective option for treating blocked leg arteries, helping people with peripheral artery disease avoid amputation.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a randomized trial, so results may be less definitive. The device is already approved for use, so this study is mainly gathering real-world data rather than testing a new breakthrough.
