New device aims to save legs from clot emergencies
NCT ID NCT06747117
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 01, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study is testing a device called the Indigo Aspiration System to remove blood clots from leg arteries in people with acute limb ischemia, a condition where a clot suddenly blocks blood flow. About 300 participants will undergo a procedure where the device sucks out the clot. The main goal is to see if the device can save the limb and restore blood flow safely.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Indigo Aspiration System (device for mechanical clot removal)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a safe and effective way to quickly restore blood flow in leg arteries, potentially saving limbs from amputation.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study (no phase specified) with 300 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. Risks include bleeding, vessel damage, or the device failing to remove the clot.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥18 years * Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of lower limb arterial occlusion located in the common iliac or below, with a minimum of 2 cm of proximal patency in the common iliac * Acute occlusion with symptom duration of 14 days or less at presentation * ALI Rutherford Category I, IIa or IIb * First-line treatment with the Indigo Aspiration System using Computer Assisted Vacuum Thrombectomy (CAVT) aspiration tubing * Informed consent is obtained from either patient or legally authorized representative (LAR) per Institutional Review Board/Ethics Committee requirements * Previously enrolled patients presenting with a new acute occlusion in the contralateral limb meeting all eligibility criteria may be re-enrolled if the new acute occlusion is greater than 30 days from the initial index procedure Exclusion Criteria: * Life expectancy \<1 year * Target vessel size \<2 mm * Target thrombus is in the aorta or isolated profunda artery * Prior major amputation (proximal to the tarsometatarsal joint) in the target limb * Prior minor amputation in the target limb within the past 6 months that is not completely healed or cannot bear weight * LE ALI secondary to dissection, vasculitis, or target vessel trauma, including iatrogenic etiology from treatment of a proximal location in the target limb, and non-thrombotic material such as tumor fragments, fat emboli, septic emboli, and foreign bodies * Target thrombus in a vein bypass graft, previously revised bypass grafts, bypass grafts placed \< 3 months prior to index ALI symptom onset, or bypass grafts with a distal anastomosis below the popliteal artery * Treatment of the index event with thrombolytics or any other endovascular or open surgical method prior to enrollment * Pregnancy * Contraindication or sensitivity to iodinated intravascular contrast that cannot be adequately premedicated * Other medical, behavioral, or psychological conditions that, in the opinion of the Investigator, precludes the patient from appropriate consent, could limit the patient's ability to participate in the study, including compliance with follow-up requirements, or that could impact the scientific integrity of the study * Current participation in another investigational drug or device study that may confound the results of this study. Studies requiring extended follow-up for products that were investigational but have since become
