New balloon could save limbs in artery disease patients
NCT ID NCT04238546
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares a balloon coated with sirolimus (a drug) to a standard balloon for opening blocked leg arteries in people with peripheral artery disease. About 1,200 adults will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments. The main goal is to see if the drug-coated balloon is at least as good at preventing major problems like unplanned amputation or the need for another procedure within a year.
