Foot ultrasound may predict limb loss risk in severe PAD patients
NCT ID NCT06318767
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is testing whether a quick ultrasound measurement of blood flow in the foot (called systolic rise time) can predict major limb events like amputation or severe ischemia in people with critical limb ischemia. Researchers will follow 134 patients for 6 months after surgery to see if this measurement correlates with complications. The goal is to find a better way to monitor these high-risk patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could give doctors a simple, non-invasive way to predict which patients with severe leg artery disease are at highest risk for limb loss or heart problems.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early observational study with only 134 participants. The measurement may not prove reliable enough to change clinical practice, and results may not apply to all patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * patients at least 18 years old, * willing and able to provide written informed consent, * with documented atherosclerosis critical limb ischemia (pain rest and/or ulcer and gangrene manifestations) * with hemodynamic measures (ankle pressure less than 50mmHg and/or TBI less than 30mmHg and/or TcPO2 less than 30 mmHg), * followed or send to CHU Amiens Picardie, and eligible to chirurgical revascularization. Exclusion Criteria: * with non atherosclerosis arteriopathy, * ineligible to the gold standard treatment such as the chirurgical revascularization, * with life expectancy less than 3 months.
