Shockwave therapy to improve leg wound healing after bypass surgery
This trial tests if using shockwave therapy on leg veins during coronary artery bypass surgery can help the leg wound heal better. It may be a good fit if you need 2 or more vein grafts and have stable kidney function.

Traditional Chinese medicine for elderly heart disease patients with ongoing symptoms
This trial tests whether traditional Chinese medicine can help elderly patients with coronary heart disease who still have chest pain or discomfort despite standard treatments. It focuses on those who cannot have or have not fully benefited from procedures like stents or bypass surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 75–90 - NCT07025148RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two blood thinners after stenting for high-risk patients
This trial tests switching from a standard blood thinner (clopidogrel) to a lower dose of a stronger one (prasugrel) in people who have had a stent placed and are at high risk for both bleeding and heart problems. The goal is to see if the switch better prevents clots while keeping bleeding risks low.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07031856Recruiting
3D printed vs. CAD-CAM dental restorations comparison
This trial compares two modern ways to make partial dental restorations (like crowns or bridges): one using a 3D printer and the other using a computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD-CAM) system. It aims to see which method works better for people who need a couple of teeth fixed.
Adana, SarıçamAges 18–65 - NCT07013344Recruiting
Link between NT-proBNP and heart artery disease
This study looks at a blood test called NT-proBNP to see if it can help predict how much blockage is in the heart's arteries. It may help doctors better understand heart disease risk.
Milan, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT07001007Recruiting
Heart vibration test for cardiovascular risk
This trial uses a special device that measures vibrations from your heart to see if it can better predict your risk for heart disease. It's for people already in the larger SCAPIS 2 study who had an echocardiography exam.
StockholmAges 58–72 - NCT06977295Recruiting
Testing a new software for finding coronary artery disease
This study is testing a new computer program that helps doctors see if you have coronary artery disease (blockages in the heart's blood vessels). It looks back at past CT scans of the heart to see if the software works well compared to other tests.
VilleurbanneAges 18 years+ - NCT06972225Recruiting
Study of heart outcomes after drug-coated balloon treatment
This study looks at heart-related complications in adults who had a coronary angioplasty using a drug-eluting balloon. It aims to understand how well these balloons work over time.
Québec, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06969547Recruiting
Heart muscle coordination and microvessel function SPECT study
This study uses a special heart scan (SPECT) to look at how well the heart muscle is squeezing and how well the tiny blood vessels in the heart are working. It may help doctors understand why some people have chest pain even when their main arteries are not blocked.
TomskAges 18–75 - NCT06959524Recruiting
Drug-coated balloon for new coronary blockages
This trial is testing a special balloon coated with medication to treat newly formed blockages in the heart's arteries. The medication may help keep the artery open after the balloon opens it during a standard procedure.
Jonesboro, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06939374Recruiting
Freezing heart arteries to stabilize high-risk plaques
This study tests a special cooling balloon to freeze and stabilize dangerous plaques in heart arteries that are not the main cause of your current symptoms. It aims to prevent future heart attacks.
AalstAges 18 years+ - NCT06927739RecruitingPhase 2
Orticumab for heart artery inflammation after a heart attack
This trial tests a drug called orticumab to see if it can reduce inflammation in the arteries of the heart after a heart attack. It may help prevent future heart problems.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06919562Recruiting
Better stent placement using imaging and newer scaffolds
This trial tests if using advanced imaging (like OCT or IVUS) to guide placement of a newer type of stent (bioresorbable scaffold) can reduce future stent problems. It is for people with stable coronary artery disease who need a stent in a main heart artery.
DordrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT06915597Recruiting
Drug-coated balloons for coronary artery disease
This trial is studying how well drug-coated balloons work for people with coronary artery disease. It looks at their use in many different situations, including new blockages, re-narrowed stents, and complex cases. The goal is to see if they are a good option for opening blocked arteries.
DenizliAges 18 years+ - NCT06916520RecruitingPhase 4
Reduced dose prasugrel alone after stent placement
This trial tests if a lower dose of prasugrel, taken alone (without aspirin), is safe and works well for people who have had a stent placed for chest pain or a heart attack. It might be an option for those who need to simplify their medication routine.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06910436Recruiting
AI timing and outcomes in heart attack study
This trial uses artificial intelligence to analyze ECG results and timing in patients with a type of heart attack called Non-STEMI (where the artery is narrowed but not fully blocked). The goal is to see if AI can help predict damage and outcomes, which could lead to better care.
Bolzano, BZAges 18 years+ - NCT06866756Recruiting
Comparing two drug-coated balloons for heart artery treatment
This trial is comparing sirolimus and paclitaxel drug-coated balloons to treat new blockages or restenosis (re-blockage) in heart arteries. It aims to see which type of balloon works better for opening arteries without leaving a metal stent behind.
Vigo, PontevedraAges 18 years+ - NCT06864234RecruitingPhase 4
Beta-blockers for chest pain without blocked arteries
This trial tests if beta-blocker medication improves blood flow and reduces resistance in the tiny blood vessels of the heart in people who have chest pain but no major blockages in their arteries.
Aalst, FlandersAges 18 years+ - NCT06843005Recruiting
Heart CT scan study for plaque changes in mild coronary disease
This study uses repeat CT scans of the heart to see how plaque buildup changes over time in people with mild, non-blocking coronary artery disease. It may help doctors decide on better treatments to prevent future heart problems.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06845410Recruiting
INR-CAD: inflammation-related coronary artery disease study
This study follows people who have both coronary artery disease (narrowed heart arteries) and signs of chronic inflammation to learn more about their condition, current treatments, and outcomes. It helps doctors understand how best to care for patients like you.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06831409Recruiting
Heart scan study for retired NFL players
This trial uses heart CT scans to measure plaque and blood flow in retired NFL players, helping understand heart risks.
Greenwood Village, ColoradoAges Any age - NCT06822894Recruiting
3-vessel ultrasound flow study in heart disease patients
This trial uses a special ultrasound to measure blood flow in three main heart arteries. It may help doctors better understand blockages and improve treatment planning.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06822712Recruiting
Sirolimus-coated balloon for heart artery branch blockages
This trial tests a new balloon coated with sirolimus (a drug that helps prevent re-blockage) for treating blocked arteries at branch points (bifurcations) in the heart. If you have a blocked artery at a branch point, this study may offer a way to treat the side branch without placing a stent there.
