Summary

This pilot study tested whether delivering the drug paclitaxel directly to the artery wall during a standard leg artery procedure could help keep the artery from narrowing again. 27 adults with leg pain from blocked arteries took part. The goal was to see if this approach improves long-term blood flow and reduces the need for repeat procedures.
