Rivaroxaban for kids with large heart artery aneurysms after Kawasaki disease
This trial studies whether rivaroxaban (a blood thinner) can help prevent dangerous clots in children age 2 and older who have “giant” coronary artery aneurysms after Kawasaki disease. Doctors will see if it’s safe and tolerable for children who are also on standard anti-clot/anti-platelet medications for the next 3 months.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 2–18 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT05611307Recruiting
Heart Health in Testicular Cancer Survivors
This study looks at heart health in men who have survived testicular cancer. It compares those who had different treatments (surgery, chemotherapy, or chemotherapy plus a stem cell transplant) to see if there are hidden signs of heart or blood vessel problems.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18–99 - NCT05634031Recruiting
Study of heart vessel dysfunction seen on heart imaging
This study looks at coronary microvascular dysfunction (small blood vessel problems in the heart) using heart imaging. It may help researchers understand causes of chest tightness with activity and shortness of breath when the main heart arteries are not blocked.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05437900RecruitingPhase 4
A heart test to guide stent placement using blood-flow measurements
This Phase 4 study tests a way to measure blood flow in heart arteries to help doctors choose the best stent plan. It may help improve safety and effectiveness for people having elective heart stent procedures for stable angina or certain heart attacks.
Aalst, Oost-VlaanderenAges 18–85 - NCT05427786RecruitingPhase 4
Heart medication during stent placement to improve blood flow
This study tests whether giving a drug called nicorandil directly into the heart artery just before placing a stent can help keep blood flow normal and reduce complications after the procedure.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT05329285Recruiting
Compare bypass or stent for heart weakness from blocked arteries
This study compares two ways to improve blood flow in people with weakened heart pumping (ischemic cardiomyopathy): bypass surgery (CABG) versus stent treatment (PCI). It aims to see which approach works better when the heart still has enough at-risk muscle and when best medical therapy is already started.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT05267990Enrolling by invitation
CT calcium scan to prevent heart problems in diabetes
This trial studies whether using a heart CT “calcium score” to guide prevention can lower the chance of major heart disease in people with type 2 diabetes who have other heart risk factors. It may help by targeting prevention more personally, based on your calcium score.
YilanAges 40 years+ - NCT05044273Recruiting
Study of two new stents and their safety in adults
This study checks how safe and effective two types of heart stents (Synergy XD and Synergy Megatron) are after they are placed. You might consider it if you’re an adult getting one of these stents and can follow required clinic visits.
AnyangAges 19 years+ - NCT05124249Recruiting
Imaging tests to evaluate clogged heart arteries
This study looks at how well special heart imaging and pressure-based tests can evaluate coronary artery disease (clogged heart arteries). If you had testing for suspected heart artery disease, the study may help doctors compare how these measurements work.
GwangjuAges 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+ - NCT04968808Recruiting
Find best timing for stent procedure in NSTEMI with multiple vessel disease
This trial compares when to do a stent procedure (PCI) in people with NSTEMI who have disease in more than one coronary artery (non-IRA). It may help doctors choose the safest and most effective timing for treatment to improve outcomes.
GwangjuAges 19 years+ - NCT04977076Recruiting
Stopping versus continuing blood thinner during heart catheter procedures
This study compares whether you should temporarily stop your blood thinner (DOAC) or keep taking it when you have an elective heart catheter test or procedure (coronary angiography or PCI). It aims to see which approach is safer and better for preventing bleeding and clotting around the procedure.
Heerlen, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT04676100Enrolling by invitation
International registry for cardiac rehabilitation programs
This study collects information about cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs in lower-resource areas. It helps improve how CR is delivered and understood, especially where healthcare resources and awareness are limited.
DohaAges 18 years+ - NCT04674449Recruiting
Tests a targeted plan for people with chest pain from heart artery disease
This study aims to match people with angina (chest pain from heart artery problems) to the most helpful treatment plan based on their test results. It’s done around the time doctors are planning an invasive heart scan to look at the coronary arteries.
CorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04545112Enrolling by invitation
Testing a new heart bypass graft in people needing multi-vessel CABG
This study tests a new way to connect a bypass graft during heart bypass surgery for people with blocked heart arteries. The goal is to see if the new graft can be safely placed and works well enough to improve outcomes compared with the standard approach.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT04416581RecruitingPhase 4
Compare two stomach-protecting medicines to prevent bleeding
This trial compares a potassium-competitive acid blocker to a proton pump inhibitor to help prevent stomach or intestinal bleeding in people at high risk who take blood-thinning medicines. It may help reduce dangerous GI bleeding while you stay on heart/stroke medicines.
AnyangAges 19 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04347200Recruiting
Long-term blood-thinner therapy registry for heart disease
This study follows people with known coronary artery disease to understand how long-term “blood thinner” treatments are used and how they affect health over time. You may be asked to share medical information and come in for follow-up to help researchers compare outcomes.
