Summary

This trial tests a special balloon coated with a drug (paclitaxel) to treat blockages in the leg arteries caused by cholesterol buildup. The balloon is inflated to open the artery and release the drug to help keep it open. The study will include 200 people and check if the balloon works well and is safe over 12 months.

paclitaxel-coated balloon catheter

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a safe, effective way to open blocked leg arteries and reduce the need for repeat procedures.

What could go wrong

This is a single-arm study with no comparison group, so results may be less definitive. The device is already approved in Europe, so the trial is gathering additional real-world data rather than testing a new breakthrough.
