Recruiting studies near Raleigh–Durham
- NCT05916950Recruiting
Study of a new treatment for blocked leg arteries
This trial studies a device-based treatment approach for people with blocked (narrowed or fully blocked) arteries in the thigh or behind the knee that reduce blood flow to the leg. It may help improve blood flow and walking ability, but you must meet specific artery and imaging requirements.
Cary, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Raleigh, North CarolinaAges 18 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.
Raleigh, North CarolinaAges 18–110 - NCT06271590Recruiting
Drug-coated balloon for small heart artery blockages
This trial tests a special balloon coated with a drug (sirolimus) to treat blockages in small heart arteries. If the balloon is successful, it may help keep the artery open without needing a permanent stent.
Raleigh, North CarolinaAges 18–80 - 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.
Raleigh, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Raleigh, North CarolinaAges Any age - NCT05055297Recruiting
Drug-coated balloon for severe leg artery blockage in lower legs
This trial studies a “drug-coated balloon” procedure to improve blood flow in people with severe, long-lasting poor circulation in the lower leg arteries. It may help reduce repeat blockage after treatment for selected artery lesions below the knee.
Raleigh, North CarolinaAges 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.
Raleigh, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06027788Recruiting
Embolic protection during heart valve surgery
This trial tests a device that may help protect your brain from small particles during heart valve surgery. It is for people 60 and older having certain types of valve replacement or repair.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 60 years+ - NCT07232069RecruitingPhase 3
Early heart disease trial for women and men with mild plaque buildup
This trial tests whether two medicines, a statin and colchicine, can slow or stop early heart artery plaque from growing in people who have mild plaque but no heart disease symptoms yet. It uses special CT scans to measure plaque over 2 years.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 30–60 - NCT04124120Recruiting
Single vs multiple bypass grafts for women heart surgery
This study compares outcomes of using one bypass graft versus multiple bypass grafts during coronary artery bypass surgery in women. It aims to see which approach leads to better recovery and heart outcomes for eligible patients.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05618353RecruitingPhase 4
Colchicine before surgery to lower heart and inflammation complications
This trial tests whether taking colchicine around the time of surgery can reduce bad events after surgery in people at higher heart risk. It focuses on helping prevent complications related to inflammation after an operation.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06399692RecruitingPhase 3
Heart treatment study for women with blocked arteries
This trial is comparing two common heart procedures—bypass surgery (CABG) and stents (PCI)—to see which works better for women with blockages in multiple heart arteries. It aims to find the best treatment for women, who are often underrepresented in heart research.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06399705RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing bypass surgery vs stenting for minority heart patients
This trial compares two common heart procedures—bypass surgery and stenting—for people with multiple blocked arteries. It focuses on minority groups to find out which treatment works best for them. You will be asked to fill out quality-of-life questionnaires for up to 10 years.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07062471Recruiting
Shockwave balloon treatment for hardened carotid arteries before stenting
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.
