Race against time: can early angioplasty save diabetic feet?
NCT ID NCT06124586
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether repairing blocked leg blood vessels within 48 hours helps heal foot ulcers in people with type 2 diabetes faster than waiting for a scheduled procedure. About 200 adults with diabetic foot sores will be randomly assigned to early or standard treatment. Researchers will track wound healing using a 3D camera and AI, and monitor heart and limb complications for one year.
