Recruiting studies near Minneapolis–St. Paul
- NCT04228978Recruiting
Lifestyle weight-loss program for people with PAD to stay mobile
This trial tests whether a healthy-lifestyle weight-loss program can help people with peripheral artery disease (PAD) lose weight and prevent worsening mobility. You may be eligible if you have PAD based on specific leg blood-flow test results and a higher body weight.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT02061436Recruiting

This study tests a special balloon that uses sound waves to break up calcium buildup in the carotid artery (the main artery in your neck) before placing a stent. It's for people who are at high risk for traditional surgery and have heavy calcium deposits in their artery.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07286578Recruiting
Using heart CT scans to guide treatment for blocked arteries
This trial is testing whether a special heart CT scan (coronary CT angiography) can help doctors better understand and treat calcium buildup in your heart arteries. If you have a type of heart disease that might need a stent or other procedure, this study could help decide the best approach.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–85 - NCT07559903Recruiting
Drug-coated balloon heart artery treatment registry
This study tracks outcomes in adults who receive a special balloon catheter (coated with medication) to open blocked heart arteries. Researchers collect data to understand how well this treatment works and any side effects that occur.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07646444Recruiting
Study of OPN Balloon for Opening Hardened Heart Vessel Blockages
This is a follow-up study of patients who have already had a heart procedure using a special balloon (OPN balloon) to open calcified (hardened) blockages in heart arteries. Researchers will review records to see how well this balloon works and how patients recover.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06662500Recruiting
Shockwave balloon for hard heart blockages trial
This trial tests a new balloon catheter that uses sound waves to break up hard calcium blockages in heart arteries. It may be an option for people with stable chest pain or who have recovered from a recent heart attack, and who have a single, tough blockage.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05946629Recruiting
Drug-coated stent trial for narrowed heart arteries
This trial studies a drug-coated balloon (plus standard heart medicines) to treat a specific type of blockage in the heart arteries in people who need an intervention. It may help keep the artery open and prevent the narrowing from coming back, depending on how well you match the detailed heart and medication requirements.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06032065RecruitingPhase 3
Exercise for peripheral artery disease
This trial tests whether a home-based exercise program is as effective as supervised exercise for improving walking ability in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). You will be randomly assigned to one of two exercise groups, and you may be asked to drink beetroot juice as part of the study.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 50 years+ - NCT06653387Recruiting
Testing a new carotid stent with blood-flow reversal for high-risk patients
This trial tests a new carotid stent system used with a special blood-flow reversal device to treat blocked carotid arteries. It is for people with high-risk conditions who might not be good candidates for traditional open surgery, and aims to see if the stent is safe and effective in preventing strokes.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–79 - NCT06445608Recruiting
Study of a heart pump for high-risk angioplasty
This trial tests a temporary heart pump (called the KARDION Cory P4) used during a high-risk angioplasty (stenting) procedure. The pump helps keep blood flowing in patients whose heart is weak or who have complex blockages, aiming to make the procedure safer.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–90 - NCT04634240Recruiting
Staged heart bypass plus TAVR versus TAVR alone
This study compares doing a staged coronary bypass (revascularization) along with a valve procedure (TAVR) versus doing TAVR and medical treatment alone. It aims to see which approach better helps people with both aortic valve narrowing and coronary artery disease.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges Any age - NCT01524276Recruiting
Registry to track outcomes of Medtronic medical devices
This is a follow-up registry that collects information from people who have (or will receive) an eligible Medtronic device. It helps the company and doctors better understand how the device works in real-world use.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges Any age - NCT04252950Recruiting
Exercise program after blood-flow procedures for leg artery disease
This study tests whether a community-based exercise program helps people recover and improve walking after a procedure to restore blood flow in the leg arteries. It may help if your main problem is leg circulation problems and you’re able to take part in exercise safely.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 40–90 - NCT04794530RecruitingPhase 3
Cocoa extract trial for walking problems in blocked leg arteries
This Phase 3 study tests whether cocoa extract (cocoa flavanols) can improve walking ability and circulation in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). It may help people who have PAD-related walking limits and can safely avoid competing cocoa sources and caffeine.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 55 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+ - NCT05100992Recruiting
Bifurcation heart procedure registry for adults
This study is a real-world registry that follows adults who are getting a specific type of heart stent procedure in a forked artery. It helps doctors learn what happens before and after the procedure and improve care.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05624125Recruiting
Beetroot juice study for circulation problems in leg arteries
This trial tests whether drinking beetroot juice can improve how well people with peripheral artery disease (PAD) can function and walk. It’s looking at circulation-related measurements in the legs and how you do on walking tests.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 50 years+ - NCT05908331Recruiting
Balloon treatment test for narrowed stents in heart arteries
This trial tests whether a special drug-coated balloon (“MagicTouch”) can treat re-narrowing inside a previously placed stent. It may help patients whose stent has become blocked again, by improving blood flow and reducing repeat narrowing.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–110 - NCT04451044Enrolling by invitation
Guided heart stent planning using an inside pressure sensor
This study tests whether using a tiny pressure sensor in heart arteries during a procedure can better guide where to place a stent. It may help doctors choose the safest and most effective stent plan by more accurately measuring artery narrowing.
Edina, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06535854Recruiting
Prevail Stent Study for Heart Disease
This study tests a new type of stent for people with narrowed heart arteries causing chest pain or a recent mild heart attack. It aims to see if the stent is safe and effective in improving blood flow without serious side effects.
Edina, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05701358Recruiting
Guiding heart stent decisions to fully treat blocked arteries after a heart attack
This trial compares two ways doctors decide which additional blocked heart arteries to treat with stents soon after a heart attack. It may help patients avoid later heart problems by testing a “complete revascularization” strategy planned after the initial culprit artery was treated.
Coon Rapids, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06959524Recruiting
AGENT balloon for new heart artery blockages
This trial tests a drug-coated balloon (AGENT DCB) versus standard angioplasty/stenting for new blockages in heart arteries. It aims to see if the coated balloon works better and is safe for people who haven't had prior stents in that spot.

What taking part in a coronary artery disease study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
