Clinical Trial: Preventing Kidney Injury Using Carbon Dioxide as Contrast Medium in Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Having Arterial Intervention

U.S., Oct. 24 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07891988) titled 'Preventing Kidney Injury Using Carbon Dioxide as Contrast Medium in Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Having Arterial Intervention' on July 10, 2024.

Brief Summary: This research trial will test whether using carbon dioxide as a contrast medium during surgery to open blocked leg arteries can prevent kidney injury. One in five people over 55 in the UK suffer with narrowing or blockages in their leg arteries, which is called peripheral arterial disease. It leads to poor leg circulation, which can cause leg gangrene or infection. Sometimes this may even lead to major lower limb amputation....
