- NCT06820970Recruiting
Combined therapy for heart artery blockages that weren't fully opened
This trial tests if combining a new heart procedure with a special type of therapy called mindfulness therapy can help prevent heart problems in people with coronary artery disease that could not be fully fixed with stents or surgery.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT06804499Recruiting
Coronary artery disease and sudden cardiac arrest study
This study is for people with coronary artery disease (blocked arteries in the heart) who live in the Pirkanmaa area of Finland. It will collect information and blood samples to better understand heart disease and sudden cardiac arrest.

Comparing minimally invasive vs. traditional bypass for multi-vessel heart disease
This study compares two types of heart bypass surgery for people with blockages in multiple heart arteries: a newer, less invasive technique (minimally invasive CABG) versus the traditional open-chest approach. It aims to see which approach leads to better recovery and outcomes.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06800781Recruiting
Chest tube duration to prevent afib after heart surgery
This trial tests if leaving a chest tube in a little longer after heart surgery can lower the chance of developing atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm). It's for people having certain planned heart surgeries who have not had this rhythm problem before.
LundAges 18 years+ - NCT06736665Recruiting
Comparing two ways to treat hardened calcium in heart arteries
This trial compares two techniques (orbital atherectomy and intravascular lithotripsy) to break up tough calcium deposits in the heart's arteries that can block blood flow. If you have a calcified nodule and are having a non-emergency procedure to open a blocked artery, this study may help guide which method works best.
Alicante, AlicanteAges 18 years+ - NCT06681740Recruiting
Breathing muscle training for heart disease patients
This study tests whether a special breathing exercise program can help people who have had a heart attack and a procedure to open blocked heart arteries. The exercises strengthen the muscles you use to breathe, which may improve your recovery and quality of life.
MálagaAges 18–80 - NCT06588595RecruitingPhase 4
Switching Blood Thinners After Stent Placement
This study compares two ways to manage blood thinners after a stent. It tests whether switching from stronger drugs (prasugrel or ticagrelor) to clopidogrel is safe and effective for long-term heart protection.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06589570Recruiting
Titanium partial dentures and speech clarity study
This study tests how well a new type of metal partial denture made from titanium works for people missing multiple teeth. It looks at how the denture affects your speech and how easy it is to understand you.
CairoAges Any age - NCT06559332Recruiting
Heart artery checks during aortic valve replacement
This study tests different ways to check for blocked heart arteries in patients getting a new aortic valve through a tube in the leg. It aims to find the best approach to guide treatment.
BernAges 70 years+ - NCT06542432Enrolling by invitation
Genetic risk test for heart disease prevention
This trial uses a polygenic risk score to see if knowing your genetic risk for coronary artery disease can help prevent a first heart attack. If you have an intermediate 10-year risk and no prior heart events, you may be eligible.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 40–70 - NCT06489119Recruiting
Studying plaque types in coronary artery disease with advanced imaging
This trial uses advanced imaging (OCT) and single-cell analysis to study different types of plaque in people with coronary artery disease. It aims to understand how these plaque types differ at a cellular level, which could lead to better treatments.
Harbin, HeilongjiangAges 18–85 - NCT06327984Recruiting
Sex hormones and inflammation in heart disease
This study looks at how sex hormones and inflammation affect chest pain and heart disease. It aims to improve care for people with coronary artery disease.
LondonAges 16 years+ - NCT06182683Recruiting
OCT-Guided vs. FFR-Guided Stent Placement in Heart Disease
This trial compares two imaging and pressure tests used during stent placement to see which helps improve blood flow better in people with chest pain or a recent heart attack.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06179212Recruiting
Comparing exercise tests for men and women with heart disease
This study compares two different exercise test methods to see which works better for men and women with heart disease. The goal is to find a test that can help doctors design better exercise programs for you.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06112418Recruiting
Personalized vs standard care to prevent heart attacks
This trial compares two ways to prevent heart attacks and strokes: one uses a special heart CT scan to guide care, the other uses standard risk factors like blood pressure and cholesterol. You may be eligible if you are older (men over 55, women over 65) and have diabetes, prediabetes, or metabolic syndrome.
Chandler, ArizonaAges 55 years+ - NCT06092346Recruiting
Understanding rare purine and pyrimidine metabolism disorders
This study aims to learn more about rare disorders of purine and pyrimidine metabolism (DPPM), which can affect the brain, immune system, kidneys, and muscles. Researchers will study people with these disorders, their family members, and healthy volunteers to better understand the condition over time.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 month–100 years - NCT06077513Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two mesh frames for jawbone grafting
This trial tests two different metal mesh frames used to rebuild bone in the jaw before placing a dental implant. If you need a bone graft for a missing tooth, this study may help find the best option for you.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT06007248Recruiting
Study of inflammation-related coronary artery disease
This study compares two types of coronary artery disease: one linked to inflammation (IR-CAD) and the standard type (AS-CAD). If you have had a heart procedure and were recently hospitalized for worsening chest pain, this study may help doctors understand your condition better.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 45–64 - NCT05860400Recruiting
Testing add-on treatment to calm artery inflammation after heart procedures
This study looks at whether a comprehensive add-on treatment—starting with immune medicine and then a heart procedure when needed—can improve outcomes for people whose coronary artery disease is getting worse quickly. It focuses on cases where inflammation is likely driving new artery blockages or worsening chest pain.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05366153Recruiting
Plan to lower future heart attack risk after past cancer treatment
This trial tests whether a “risk-guided” care plan can help prevent coronary artery disease (the buildup that can lead to heart attacks) in people who had cancer treatment that can affect the heart. You may get closer heart risk monitoring and guidance to reduce risk factors, such as cholesterol—especially if you can safely take statins.
Hobart, TasmaniaAges 40–70 - NCT05698732Recruiting
Coroflex stent study for selected small heart artery blockages
This trial studies a new heart stent (called Coroflex ISAR NEO) for people who need a procedure to open a narrowed coronary artery. It may help improve long-term results for patients with certain small, short blockages who can safely take the required blood-thinning medicines.
Aix-en-ProvenceAges 18 years+ - NCT05617599Recruiting
Checks safety of a stent used in complex heart artery disease
This study looks at how safe and effective a specific stent (SUPRAFLEX CRUZ) is when used in real-world care for people with heart artery blockages in more than one artery. Some participants will also be selected if their heart pumping strength is reduced.
Elche, AlicanteAges 18 years+ - NCT04885244Recruiting
Minimally invasive surgery for adult spine bending and misalignment
This trial looks at how well minimally invasive back surgery works for adults with long-lasting spine deformities (like bending or uneven alignment). It aims to measure outcomes using questionnaires and spine X-ray measurements after treatment.
