PAD is a condition where blood flow to the legs is reduced due to narrowed arteries, often causing pain or discomfort while walking.
Superficial Femoral Artery Stenosis
Superficial Femoral Artery (SFA) Stenosis is a condition in which the SFA, a major artery in the leg, becomes narrow, leading to restricted blood flow. It is a type of Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) and commonly occurs due to plaque buildup in the arteries. SFA Stenosis can lead to various symptoms, such as leg pain, numbness, and in severe cases, even tissue damage.
Assessing the Potential of a Drug Eluting Balloon in Treating SFA Stenosis
Hightower Clinical is soon conducting a research study for people with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) affecting the superficial femoral artery (SFA) and proximal popliteal artery (PPA). The study will compare a new treatment, a drug-eluting balloon (DEB), to a standard uncoated balloon used in angioplasty procedures.
This research aims to find out if the new balloon treatment is safer and more effective in improving blood flow. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment options, and care will be provided by experienced physicians at no cost to them.
