First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study tested a special balloon coated with a drug (paclitaxel) to open blocked arteries in the leg. 123 people with leg pain due to poor blood flow were treated. The goal was to see if the balloon is safe and keeps arteries open longer, reducing the need for repeat procedures. It is a treatment to manage the disease, not a cure.
