Recruiting studies
- NCT07564531Recruiting
Safe sedation for heart catheterization in children
This study tests whether a combination of two sedative medications (dexmedetomidine and ketamine) works safely and effectively to keep children calm and still during heart catheterization—a procedure where a thin tube is guided through blood vessels to the heart for diagnosis or treatment.
HanoiAges Up to 18 years - NCT04374799RecruitingPhase 3
Heparin vs placebo during cardiac catheterization
This trial tests whether giving heparin (a blood thinner) during a specific type of heart procedure is safer and works better than not giving it. It focuses on patients where the blood supply in the hand’s artery connection is functioning properly.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06576128Recruiting
Numbing injection for pain relief during heart procedures
This study tests whether an ultrasound-guided numbing injection in the belly wall can reduce pain during heart procedures like angioplasty or stent placement. It is for people having planned (non-emergency) heart catheterization.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT04077762Recruiting
Radial vs femoral access to reduce bleeding in heart procedures
This study compares two ways doctors can reach the heart during a catheter procedure: through the wrist (radial) or the groin (femoral). It aims to reduce bleeding and access-site complications, especially when patients may need a balloon/stent (PCI).
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06506968Recruiting
Ergonomics study for heart lab staff
This study looks at how ergonomics (the way your body moves and feels at work) affect staff in the heart catheterization lab. You might join if you work there and are willing to wear special sensors to track your movements.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 21 years+ - NCT05941013Recruiting
Ultrasound-check breathing tube during heart procedures
This feasibility study tests a special breathing tube that can be checked with ultrasound during a planned heart catheter procedure under general anesthesia. It may help doctors confirm the tube is in the right place more easily and safely, before and after the procedure.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 6 months–3.5 years - NCT07375602Recruiting
AI tool to predict complications after VSD closure in children
This study uses artificial intelligence to predict complications in children who have had a specific type of hole in the heart (called a perimembranous ventricular septal defect) repaired with a catheter-based procedure. The goal is to help doctors better identify which children might have problems after the procedure.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Up to 18 years - NCT05100940Recruiting
Study after a heart procedure complication
This trial looks at what happens after complications during or after a heart procedure called coronary angiography or PCI. It may help improve care and outcomes for people who experience a problem during treatment.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06483087Recruiting
Animated education for kids before heart catheterization
This trial tests if watching an animated educational video before a scheduled heart catheterization can reduce anxiety and prevent complications. It is designed for children ages 6 to 12 who are having this procedure for the first time.
AmmanAges 6–12 - NCT06812455RecruitingPhase 4
Rivaroxaban for blood clot after heart catheterization
This trial tests if a blood thinner called Rivaroxaban can treat a blood clot that forms in the wrist artery after a heart catheterization. If you have this clot, taking Rivaroxaban may help reopen the artery and improve blood flow.
ThessalonikiAges 18 years+ - NCT07669012RecruitingPhase 1
Sedation comparison for child heart hole repair
This study compares two sedation combinations (ketamine-propofol vs. dexmedetomidine-propofol) in children having a heart catheter procedure to close a simple hole or opening. The goal is to see which combination provides safer, more comfortable sedation.
CairoAges 2–12 - NCT05628779Enrolling by invitation
Clip procedure to repair a leaking tricuspid valve
This trial studies a minimally invasive “edge-to-edge” clip procedure to reduce severe leakage of the tricuspid valve. It’s for people who still feel unwell despite standard treatments and may be too high-risk for open-heart surgery.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT04599192Enrolling by invitation
Test heart procedure planning in women using pressure measurements
This trial compares two strategies for deciding which heart blockages to treat, using special pressure and blood-flow measurements during a heart procedure. It may help doctors choose more accurate treatment by tailoring the plan to each person’s heart blood flow.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT07414251Recruiting
Preparing children for heart procedures
This study looks at how children prepare for heart surgery or a heart catheterization. It will ask families to fill out questionnaires to help improve preoperative care.
Berlin, State of BerlinAges Up to 18 years - NCT07077824Recruiting
Nerve block to reduce artery catheter complications in heart surgery
This trial tests whether a nerve block (stellate ganglion block) can reduce complications from placing an artery catheter during heart surgery. It is for people with weak heart function (EF below 35%) or severe lung hypertension who are expected to have a long surgery.
CairoAges 18 years+ - NCT07079904Recruiting
Laser and ultrasound for IV placement in heart surgery
This trial tests a new method using laser and ultrasound guidance to place a small tube (IV) in a vein for patients having heart surgery. It may help make the procedure faster and safer.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06952907Recruiting
Arm vs. leg artery pressure monitoring in heart surgery
This study compares measuring blood pressure through an arm artery (radial) versus a leg artery (femoral) during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. The goal is to see which method works better and is safer for patients.
BesançonAges 18 years+

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cardiac catheterization?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 17 recruiting cardiac catheterization studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a cardiac catheterization trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a cardiac catheterization trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
