DüsseldorfAges 18 years+ - NCT06437600Recruiting
Immediate balloon angioplasty for severe stroke with brain artery narrowing
This trial tests whether doing an angioplasty (a procedure to open a narrowed artery with a small balloon) as soon as possible after a severe stroke caused by a blockage in a brain artery can improve recovery. It is for people who arrive within 24 hours of their stroke and have a specific type of narrowing inside the skull.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06763458Recruiting
Balloon angioplasty for minor unstable stroke with brain artery narrowing
This trial tests if balloon angioplasty (opening a narrowed artery with a tiny balloon) can help people who have had a minor stroke and are still having symptoms despite taking blood thinners.
ShenyangAges 18 years+ - NCT06793969Recruiting
New method to close PFO hole in heart
This trial is testing a new way to close a small hole in the heart (called a PFO) using a thin tube and a guidewire to make the procedure smoother. It's for people who have had a stroke or mini-stroke and whose PFO is thought to be the cause.
ShanghaiAges 18–65 - NCT06879561Recruiting
Wire-guided treatment for leg artery disease
This trial tests if using a special pressure-sensing wire during treatment of blocked leg arteries below the knee can improve outcomes for people with severe circulation problems that threaten the limb. It aims to help patients with Rutherford category 5 chronic limb threatening ischemia.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06954714Recruiting
Balloon vs stent for new heart blockages
This trial compares two treatments for new blockages in heart arteries: a drug-coated balloon (a tiny balloon that delivers medicine) versus a drug-eluting stent (a small mesh tube that releases medicine). The study hopes to see which approach keeps the artery open longer and is safer over time.
Busan, BusanAges 19 years+ - NCT07038408Recruiting
Comparing two procedures for opening blocked heart arteries
This trial tests whether using a drug-coated balloon with a scaffold is better than using a scaffold alone for people with narrowed or blocked heart arteries. It looks at which method helps the artery stay open longer.
TallinnAges 18–68 - NCT07316504Recruiting
Best method to fix a stent that is not fully open
This trial compares different ways to fix a stent that hasn't expanded properly inside a coronary artery. If you have a narrowed stent (restenosis) that looks like it's not fully open, this study may help determine the best treatment approach.
Clermont-Ferrand, AuvergneAges 18 years+ - NCT02038660Recruiting
Drug-coated balloon treatment registry for narrowed blood vessels
This study records outcomes for people who get a drug-coated balloon used to treat a narrowed blood vessel after a first balloon treatment. It may help doctors understand how well this approach works in everyday care and for different patient needs.
