NCT ID NCT07575568

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early study tests a new device that combines a balloon with sound waves to treat blocked arteries in the legs, a condition called peripheral artery disease (PAD). The device is designed to crack hard plaque and widen the artery. The study will include 30 people with moderate to severe PAD to see if the procedure is safe and works well.
