Predicting outcomes after stroke from artery plaque
This study looks at factors that can help predict recovery and risk after an ischemic stroke caused by plaque buildup in a major artery. It may help doctors better forecast prognosis and tailor follow-up care for people like you.
WuhanAges Up to 80 years - NCT07296965Recruiting
Oral bacteria in carotid artery plaque study
This study looks at the bacteria living in your mouth and whether they are linked to plaque buildup in the carotid artery (the main artery in your neck). If you are already scheduled for surgery to remove that plaque, the researchers will take samples from your mouth and the plaque to compare them.
BudapestAges 18 years+ - NCT05994014Recruiting
Comparing two heart scans for artery blockages
This study compares two types of heart scans to see which one better finds blockages in the arteries of people with chest discomfort or shortness of breath when active. You will have both a special CT scan and a PET/CT scan to check the health of your heart arteries.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04511234Recruiting
Sirolimus-coated balloon vs standard balloon for leg artery narrowing
This trial compares two balloon treatments used during a procedure to open blocked or narrowed arteries in the thigh and behind the knee. It tests whether the sirolimus-coated balloon works better at keeping the artery open than a standard balloon.
SingaporeAges 21 years+ - NCT04511247Recruiting
Drug-coated balloon for artery disease below the knee
This trial tests a drug-coated balloon to open narrowed or blocked arteries in the lower leg (below the knee) and help them stay open. It’s meant for people with significant symptoms, to reduce re-narrowing after treatment.
SingaporeAges 21 years+ - NCT07552948Recruiting
Radial vs. Vein Grafts for Heart Bypass Surgery
This study compares two types of blood vessels used in heart bypass surgery: the radial artery (from your forearm) versus a vein (typically from your leg). Researchers want to see which graft option works better and lasts longer in women with severe heart disease.
TomskAges 18 years+ - NCT05838547Recruiting
PET-MR scan study for narrowing in the carotid artery
This study tests how well a special PET-MR scan can help evaluate carotid artery plaque in people who have significant narrowing but no symptoms. It may help researchers better understand disease activity to guide treatment decisions like medication alone or medication plus surgery.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07521007RecruitingPhase 2
YN001 treatment for coronary artery disease
This study tests whether a new drug called YN001 can help people with coronary atherosclerosis (narrowing of heart blood vessels). The trial aims to see if it can improve outcomes in people who have early-stage blockages in their heart arteries.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 18–80 - NCT05800821Recruiting
Predicting brain blood-flow problems after carotid surgery
This study uses deep learning to predict which people are at risk for “cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome” (a dangerous spike in brain blood flow) after carotid revascularization. If you qualify, they’ll use scans/tests to estimate your risk so doctors can watch you more closely if needed.
MinskAges 30–80 - NCT06393894Recruiting
Latvian Early Atherosclerosis Registry Study
This study is gathering information from people with early heart artery blockages (occurring before age 55 for men or 65 for women) who need or have had treatment like stents or bypass. It helps doctors understand long-term outcomes.
RigaAges 18–65 - NCT07091682Recruiting
A trial of a dissolvable heart stent for long blockages
This trial tests a new type of stent made from magnesium that slowly dissolves over time. It is for people who have a long blockage in a heart artery that has not been treated before and may be a good option for those who are stable and have not had a recent heart attack.
ErfurtAges 18–80 - NCT06767345RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two cholesterol medicines for plaque stabilization
This study compares two ways to lower cholesterol and stabilize artery plaque in people with coronary artery disease who are having a stent procedure. It tests whether a moderate statin plus ezetimibe works as well as a high-intensity statin alone for stabilizing plaque.
Seoul, SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT06757764RecruitingPhase 4
Stroke from artery narrowing: testing combination of anti-platelet drugs
This trial tests whether a combination of two or three anti-platelet medicines (like aspirin, clopidogrel, or cilostazol) is safe and works better than one alone for people who had a stroke from a narrowed artery. The goal is to prevent another stroke.
Seoul, Songpa-guAges 20 years+ - NCT07232069RecruitingPhase 3
Early heart disease trial for women and men with mild plaque buildup
This trial tests whether two medicines, a statin and colchicine, can slow or stop early heart artery plaque from growing in people who have mild plaque but no heart disease symptoms yet. It uses special CT scans to measure plaque over 2 years.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 30–60 - NCT05660798Recruiting
Switching from cigarettes to heat-not-burn to protect heart arteries
This study looks at whether switching from regular cigarettes to a tobacco heating product slows buildup of plaque in the heart arteries. You’d be guided through smoking change and monitored using heart scans, to see if artery plaque stays the same or improves.
WarsawAges 18–75 - NCT06902740RecruitingPhase 4
PCSK9 inhibitor with statin for asymptomatic brain artery narrowing
This trial tests whether adding a PCSK9 inhibitor to standard statin therapy can help people with narrowing in brain arteries that hasn't caused symptoms yet. The goal is to see if this combination lowers plaque and prevents future strokes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06447740Recruiting
Stent vs. medication for narrowed kidney artery
This trial compares placing a tiny mesh tube (stent) to open the narrowed kidney artery versus continuing blood pressure medicines alone. It is for people whose high blood pressure is hard to control even with multiple medications and who have a blockage in the kidney artery that can be treated.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06253962Recruiting
Can carotid artery scans predict heart disease?
This study looks at whether ultrasound scans of the carotid artery (the main artery in your neck) can help predict blockages in the heart arteries. If you are getting both a carotid ultrasound and a heart angiogram, you may be able to join.
ShanghaiAges 14–90 - NCT06579807Recruiting
Cardiac rehab for coronary artery disease
This study tests if a cardiac rehabilitation program helps people with coronary artery disease. You can join if you are between 40 and 70, have heart disease (or are a healthy volunteer), and do not have other health issues like heart failure or smoking.
Rio de Janeiro, Rio de JaneiroAges 40–70 - NCT01384721Recruiting
CT scan study for heart artery disease risk
This study uses a CT heart scan (with a calcium score) to better understand risk in people with suspected coronary artery disease. You may be asked to have scan-based measurements and then be followed for at least a year.
Milan, MIAges 18 years+ - NCT06535568Recruiting
Comparing one vs two blood thinners after heart artery balloon treatment
This trial tests whether taking just one blood thinner (clopidogrel) is as safe and effective as taking two (clopidogrel plus aspirin) for older adults or people at high bleeding risk who have had a drug-coated balloon procedure to open blocked heart arteries.
Milan, MIAges Any age - NCT07312383Recruiting
Skin blood flow study in leg artery disease
This trial uses a special device to measure tiny blood vessels in the skin of patients with severe leg artery disease. It aims to understand how blood flow changes before and after a common treatment to open blocked leg arteries (angioplasty).
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT06541691Recruiting
Aspirin for heart disease patients in polluted air
This study tests if different types of aspirin (coated or chewable) and a special schedule can help people with heart or blood vessel disease when they are exposed to air pollution. If you live in Tehran and have stable heart disease, you may be able to join.
Tehran, Tehran ProvinceAges 18 years+ - NCT07762664Recruiting
