New sensor aims to help doctors see inside arteries during procedures
NCT ID NCT06112054
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study tested a special guidewire with a sensor that measures electrical properties of tissues in people with peripheral artery disease. The goal was to see if the sensor could tell the difference between various tissues, like the artery wall and surrounding areas. Nineteen participants were included, and the study focused on whether the device could successfully take these measurements during standard procedures.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Clotild Smart Guidewire System (CSGS) - a device with an impedance sensor
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this sensor could help doctors better identify different tissues during artery procedures, potentially improving treatment accuracy.
- What could go wrong
- This was a very small, early feasibility study with only 19 participants. It only tested if the sensor could take measurements, not if it improves patient outcomes.
