New procedure reroutes blood to save limbs when all else fails

NCT ID NCT03321552

Completed Disease control Sponsor: LimFlow SA Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Summary

This study tested a device called the LimFlow System for patients with severe leg circulation problems (critical limb ischemia) who had no other surgical or minimally invasive options left. The device creates a new connection between an artery and a vein below the knee to bypass blocked arteries, aiming to restore blood flow and prevent major amputation. Researchers followed 34 patients to see if the procedure was safe and effective at keeping them alive and with their limb.
