Clinical trial for Peripheral Arterial Disease(PAD)
Official title Intravascular Ultrasound for Peripheral Artery Disease Revascularization
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06979284
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The study wants to see whether using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) instead of just angiography during artery repair can lower the chance of serious limb problems or artery narrowing in adults with chronic limb threatening ischemia.
- Who it's for
- Adults with chronic limb threatening ischemia who are having a percutaneous artery repair.
- What's involved
- Participants will have their artery treated with a standard procedure, and some will also get IVUS imaging during the procedure. They will be monitored for limb events and artery narrowing.
- Time commitment
- The study lasts until the follow‑up period after the procedure, with visits at the time of treatment and later check‑ups (exact schedule not specified).
