Symptomatic and Systemic Atherosclerotic Plaque Activity in Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease Using Novel Imaging
This study uses special scans to look at how narrowed leg arteries (PAD) cause problems, not just in the legs, but elsewhere too. Researchers want to understand the connections between inflammation, tiny calcium deposits, and blood clots in artery blockages.

Intravascular Ultrasound for Peripheral Artery Disease Revascularization
This study looks at whether using a special ultrasound during surgery for blocked leg arteries helps prevent future problems. It compares this ultrasound method to standard X-ray imaging in people with severe circulation issues in their legs.

Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia Treated With Intravascular Lithotripsy Observational Study
This study looks at a new way to treat serious leg problems called chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). It uses special sound waves (intravascular lithotripsy) to clear blocked leg arteries, aiming to help wounds heal and prevent amputations. We want to see how well it works and if it's safe.

Use of CPETarm for Risk Stratification of Patients With CLTI
This study looks at a new arm exercise test to help doctors in the UK better assess patients with severe leg circulation problems before surgery. It aims to improve safety and results for patients facing urgent operations.

REsorbable SCaffolds With everolimUs-Elution for the Treatment of Infrapopliteal Artery Disease in Patients With Chronic Limb-threatening Ischemia
This Europe-wide study looks at a special dissolving medical device, called an Esprit BTK scaffold, for people with severe circulation problems in their legs. It aims to see how well this device works in real life. The scaffold helps keep leg arteries open and releases medicine to prevent blockages, then naturally disappears over time.

ORbital Atherectomy for Lesion Preparation in Patients With Chronic Limb-threatening ischEmia
This study, called ORACLE, is looking at a treatment called orbital atherectomy for people in Europe with serious leg circulation problems (CLTI). It uses a tiny spinning tool to gently clear hardened arteries in the legs, helping other treatments work better. The study wants to see how well this tool works in everyday medical practice.
