New math model aims to predict stent breaks in leg arteries
NCT ID NCT06198920
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a computer model can predict when stents placed in the leg arteries might break or fail. Researchers will follow 30 adults who receive a stent for blocked leg arteries. The goal is to see if the model can help doctors choose the best treatment and avoid complications.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- stenting procedure
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors predict which patients are at higher risk of stent failure, leading to more personalized treatment choices for blocked leg arteries.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 30 participants. The mathematical model may not accurately predict real-world outcomes, and results may not apply to all patients.

Inclusion Criteria: * adult patients (≥ 18 years) hospitalized in the Operating Units participating in the study and subjected to a recanalization/dilation and stenting procedure of the superficial femoral artery due to stenosis or obstruction of the same conditioning disabling claudication or critical ischemia of the lower limb (class 3-4-5-6 according to Rutherford). Exclusion Criteria: * minor patients (age \<18 years); * patients who have not given their consent to participate in the study; * Pregnant women.
