Common diabetes drug may shield leg surgery patients from heart attacks and amputations
NCT ID NCT07157475
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a type of diabetes medicine called SGLT-2 inhibitors (or 'flozins') can help prevent serious heart and limb problems in people who have had surgery to open blocked leg arteries. Researchers will compare 300 patients who took the drug after surgery with those who did not, checking for heart attacks, strokes, repeat procedures, or amputations. The goal is to see if this medicine offers extra protection for these high-risk patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Peripheral vascular procedure ( Conventional surgical procedure or minimally invasive procedure) due to acute or chronic ischemia * Use of SGLT2 inhibitors (applies only to the group exposed to flozins) for at least 3 months prior to the vascular procedure (the indication for initiating the drug is irrelevant: chronic kidney disease \[CKD\] / cardiac reasons / diabetes), or immediately after the vascular procedure * Ability to determine the patient's outcomes within a minimum of 30 days up to 1 year following the vascular procedure Exclusion Criteria: * Vascular injury as the reason for the procedure * Amputation due to causes other than ischemia (e.g., cancer, neuropathy, trauma without coexisting ischemia) * Planned revascularization procedure other than for the lower limbs at the time of hospital discharge (e.g., coronary or carotid arteries) * Planned ischemia-related amputation or reoperation of the operated limb at the time of hospital discharge * Planned other major surgical procedure with high cardiovascular risk at the time of hospital discharge
