Clinical Trial: Outcomes of Atherectomy and Balloon Angioplasty Compared to Conventional Angioplasty in Infra-popliteal Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia

U.S., Aug. 14 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07120555) titled 'Outcomes of Atherectomy and Balloon Angioplasty Compared to Conventional Angioplasty in Infra-popliteal Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia' on July 16.

Brief Summary: Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) represents the most advanced stage of peripheral artery disease (PAD), characterized by rest pain, non-healing ulcers, or gangrene, and is associated with high morbidity and risk of amputation if left untreated. Infra-popliteal arteries are frequently involved in CLTI, especially in diabetic and elderly patients, posing significant challenges due to diffuse, calcified, and long-segment occlusive lesions.
