New stent aims to keep leg arteries open longer
NCT ID NCT03941314
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a newer stent (Supera) works better than a standard stent for people with blocked arteries in the leg. About 300 patients received one of the two stents. The goal was to see which stent kept the artery open longer and reduced the need for another procedure over two years.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Supera® Peripheral Stent System (a flexible metal tube placed in the leg artery to keep it open)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that the Supera stent is better at keeping leg arteries open and reducing the need for repeat procedures.
What could go wrong
This is a completed trial, but results may not apply to all patients. Stents can still fail or cause complications like re-blockage.
