Barcelona, Select...Ages 70 years+ - NCT05782270RecruitingPhase 4
Blood thinner medicines after bypass surgery with artery unblocking
This trial studies which blood-thinning medicine combination is safest and most helpful after coronary bypass surgery combined with a procedure to unblock the artery (endarterectomy). It focuses on preventing dangerous blood clots while also avoiding excess bleeding.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06539689Recruiting
Sperstent for remaining blockages after balloon treatment in leg arteries
This trial tests a special stent called Sperstent for people who still have blockages or tears in their leg arteries after balloon treatment. It is designed to help improve blood flow and reduce symptoms like leg pain or sores.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT05845424RecruitingPhase 4
High-intensity cholesterol pills for people with silent calcium
This trial studies whether high-intensity statin plus ezetimibe can improve heart health in people who do not have symptoms but have calcium buildup in their heart arteries. It may help lower cholesterol and reduce future heart risks for the right participants.
SeoulAges 40 years+ - NCT07004569Recruiting
Angiolite Registry Study for heart artery stents
This study is testing a new type of stent for people with a blockage in the main artery of the heart. It aims to see how well the stent works and if it's safe.
Hong Kong, ShatinAges 19 years+ - NCT06179329Recruiting
Comparing two types of heart bypass grafts in women
This trial compares two types of grafts (the radial artery from the arm and a vein from the leg) used in women having heart bypass surgery for the first time. It aims to see which graft works better and stays open longer.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18–75 - NCT04606459Recruiting
Device trial for hard-to-treat heart chest pain from small vessels
This trial tests whether a small pressure-reducing device placed in a heart vein (the coronary sinus) can reduce symptoms in people with ongoing chest pain from tiny blood vessel problems. It is for angina that has not improved despite standard heart medicines, and only if special heart tests show reversible reduced blood flow.
Mainz, Rhineland-PalatinateAges 18–85 - NCT06706206Recruiting
Heart artery care in hemophilia study
This study uses a special CT scan to check for heart artery disease in men with hemophilia. It aims to better understand heart risks in this group.
Oxford, OxfordshireAges 45–120 - 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.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT07552948Recruiting
Radial vs. Vein Grafts for Heart Bypass Surgery
This study compares two types of blood vessels used in heart bypass surgery: the radial artery (from your forearm) versus a vein (typically from your leg). Researchers want to see which graft option works better and lasts longer in women with severe heart disease.
TomskAges 18 years+ - NCT06399900Recruiting
Light therapy plus exercise for better walking with PAD
This study tests whether adding light therapy to a walking program helps people with peripheral artery disease (PAD) walk further and feel better. You'll receive either light therapy or a placebo light while doing a supervised exercise program.
