Testing full stent treatment for heart artery blockages
This study looks at how well doctors can treat multiple blocked heart arteries using a specific drug-eluting stent, aiming to fully open them. It may help patients whose blockage pattern fits the study, but it does not include certain high-risk or special cases.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18–85 - NCT07753200RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two blood thinners for atrial fibrillation and heart disease
This study compares two blood-thinning medicines, edoxaban and apixaban, to see which one is better at preventing strokes and bleeding in people who have both atrial fibrillation and coronary artery disease. If you're eligible, you may receive one of these standard treatments, and the trial could help find the safer option.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT07368933Recruiting
A drug-coated balloon for heart artery blockages
This trial tests a balloon coated with two drugs to treat narrowed or re-narrowed arteries in the heart. It may help people with chest pain or recent mild heart attacks who need a procedure to open a blockage.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07254572RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing diabetes drugs for heart health in prediabetes
This trial tests whether certain diabetes medications can help prevent worsening of heart disease in people who have prediabetes (higher than normal blood sugar, but not yet diabetes). It may be a good fit if you have known coronary artery disease and prediabetes.
WarsawAges 18–80 - NCT03378934RecruitingPhase 4
Berberine after stent placement to reduce blood-platelet effects
This trial studies whether berberine changes how strongly your platelets “stick together” after a coronary stent. It may help reduce risk related to clotting while you continue standard heart medicines (aspirin and clopidogrel).
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06597851Recruiting
Insulin resistance and heart artery health: a study for chest pain patients
This study looks at how insulin resistance affects tiny heart arteries in people who have chest pain and signs of heart stress on tests, but do not have major blockages in their heart arteries. It aims to understand why some people have heart symptoms even when their main arteries appear clear.
Verona, VRAges 18 years+ - NCT05650411Recruiting
Test new drug-eluting stent with less blood thinner
This study compares a new type of “drug-eluting” stent (a tiny scaffold that slowly releases medicine) and a single blood-thinner plan versus the usual two-drug blood thinner plan after stent placement in the left main coronary artery. It aims to see if the simpler plan can work while keeping the stent safe.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT07711951Recruiting
Bypass surgery times and ICU stay length
This study looks at how long people stay in the intensive care unit after planned coronary artery bypass surgery. It checks if the time spent on the heart-lung machine or with the aorta clamped affects recovery.
Diyarbakır, Outside of the USAges 18 years+ - NCT07000045Recruiting
Shock wave vs drill for hard calcium in heart arteries
This study tests a new way to break up hard calcium deposits in heart arteries using shock waves (lithotripsy), with or without a special drill (rotational atherectomy), before placing a stent. It may help people with severely calcified blockages that are hard to treat with standard methods.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07277686Recruiting
AI face scan for hidden heart disease in high-risk people
This trial tests whether an AI system can detect signs of coronary artery disease (blockages in heart arteries) by analyzing a photo of your face. It may help identify people in the community who need further heart testing.
Zhoukou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT07094087RecruitingPhase 3
Blood clotting medicine for heart surgery bleeding
This trial tests a medicine called 4F-PCC to stop bleeding during complex heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. It could help people who have bleeding problems after the surgery.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05845489RecruitingPhase 4
Clopidogrel to prevent heart problems from minor artery plaque
This trial tests whether clopidogrel (a blood-thinning medicine) can prevent future heart attacks or strokes in people who have early, “subclinical” plaque in their heart arteries. You may be considered if scans show plaque but not major artery blockage that needs a procedure.
Seoul, OtherAges 40 years+ - NCT07612774RecruitingPhase 4
Early cholesterol-lowering drug after heart attack study
This study tests whether starting evolocumab (a cholesterol-lowering injection) soon after a heart attack helps prevent future heart problems. You'll receive the study drug or placebo for 52 weeks while your heart is monitored with imaging scans.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 40–75 - NCT07329699Recruiting
AI-Guided Heart Artery Pressure Test vs Standard Test
This study compares a new artificial intelligence (AI) method to measure blood flow in your heart arteries (called Medipixel FFR) with the standard invasive method. If you are scheduled for a heart angiogram or stenting and have a moderate blockage (40-90% narrowing) that doctors are unsure about, this AI tool may help decide the best treatment for you.
Seoul, Select StateAges 19 years+ - NCT05931783Recruiting
Compare two ways to use an artery during heart bypass
This study compares two surgical techniques for heart bypass: using the left internal thoracic artery in one specific way versus another. It may help improve how well the bypass works in people who need bypass surgery for multiple blocked heart arteries.
GrazAges 18–80 - NCT07009418Recruiting
CT scan vs. usual care after heart stent or balloon treatment
This trial tests whether a CT scan of the heart arteries is a safe and effective alternative to standard follow-up tests in people who have had a stent or drug-coated balloon placed in a high-risk coronary artery. It may help reduce the need for additional invasive procedures.
Bucheon-siAges 19 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+ - NCT04814212Recruiting
Testing a drug-coated balloon for people with bleeding risk
This trial looks at whether a “drug-coated balloon” used during a heart procedure (PCI) is safer or better for people who are at higher risk of bleeding while on blood thinners. It may help reduce complications around the time of the procedure in people like you.
Jyväskylä, Central FinlandAges 18 years+ - NCT07159087Enrolling by invitation
New drug balloon for re-narrowed stents
This trial tests a new drug-coated balloon (Genoss SCB) versus an existing one (SeQuent Please NEO) for people whose heart stents have re-narrowed. It aims to see which balloon better keeps the artery open.
Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT05807841Recruiting
AI ultrasound during stent placement in heart artery blockages
This trial tests an artificial-intelligence tool that uses a heart ultrasound to help guide stent treatment. It may help doctors choose the best way to treat blockages and improve stent results for people with symptoms from reduced blood flow to the heart.
Bucheon-siAges 19 years+ - 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 - 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+ - NCT06091774Recruiting
Digital therapy for heart disease risk factors
This study tests a smartphone app (iATROS) for managing heart disease risk factors in patients with coronary heart disease. If you have had a heart attack, a stent, angioplasty, or bypass surgery, and you can use a smartphone, this program may help you reduce your risk through digital monitoring and guidance.
Munich, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT06855537RecruitingPhase 4
Stent for vulnerable plaques in heart patients
This trial tests whether implanting stents in non-obstructive, high-risk plaques (thin-capped fatty plaques) can prevent future heart attacks. It is for people who have already had treatment for a recent heart attack or unstable angina and have additional plaques that are not severely blocking blood flow but are vulnerable.
