Leg artery study halted: did platelet screening help?
NCT ID NCT04007055
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looked at whether screening people for high platelet reactivity (a condition where blood clots easily) before leg artery procedures could improve outcomes. It involved 31 adults with peripheral artery disease who were scheduled for angioplasty or stenting. The trial was terminated early, so results are limited.
