NCT ID NCT06832631

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study follows 284 people with blocked leg arteries (peripheral arterial disease) who are treated with a paclitaxel-coated balloon. The balloon is inflated inside the artery to open it and release a drug that helps prevent it from narrowing again. Researchers are tracking safety and how well the artery stays open over time.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

paclitaxel-coated balloon

What this could lead to

If successful, this could confirm that the paclitaxel-coated balloon is a safe and effective way to open blocked leg arteries and reduce the need for repeat procedures.

What could go wrong

This is an observational registry, not a randomized trial, so results may be less definitive. The drug coating may carry risks like inflammation or late complications, and long-term benefits are still being studied.
