New Artery-Clearing procedure could save legs from amputation
NCT ID NCT07239089
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at a new, less invasive way to remove plaque from leg arteries in people with severe blockages that threaten the limb. About 60 participants will get the procedure, called atherectomy, to see if it can restore blood flow without needing more surgery. The goal is to improve outcomes for patients with complex blockages that standard treatments often fail to fix.
