Assessing temperature changes in legs before and after vascular procedures

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using a thermal imaging camera to measure temperature changes in the lower extremities of patients with peripheral arterial disease undergoing revascularization procedures. Patients will have their leg temperatures measured before and after the intervention to determine if these measurements can predict the outcomes of the procedures. Data will be collected at multiple time points, including pre-intervention and weekly follow-ups for up to six months. The study will also document relevant comorbidities and demographic factors to correlate with the thermal imaging results.
