Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults over 18 years old with Rutherford clinical category 4-6 in the target limb.

Probably not a fit

Patients with de novo or restenotic stenosis or occlusion, or those with lesions outside the specified criteria, may not benefit from this study.

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

What this trial studies

This clinical trial is a prospective randomized control trial designed to assess the effectiveness of the Serrantor PTA Serration Catheter in treating critical limb ischemia in patients with varying degrees of calcified plaque in below-the-knee arteries. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the serration catheter intervention or standard care. The study aims to determine if this new approach can improve blood flow and patient outcomes compared to traditional methods.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly improve blood flow and reduce complications for patients suffering from critical limb ischemia.

How similar studies have gone: While this approach is innovative, similar studies have shown promise in improving outcomes for patients with critical limb ischemia.
