Promising Leg-Saving balloon study halted early
NCT ID NCT05755412
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a special balloon that uses sound waves (shockwaves) to crack open hard calcium blockages in the leg arteries of people with critical limb ischemia, a condition where poor blood flow can lead to pain, wounds, or even amputation. The goal was to see if the balloon was safe and effective at restoring blood flow and preventing the need for repeat procedures. However, the study was stopped early and only enrolled 9 people, so the results are very limited.
