AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT07293858Recruiting
Eye scan study for heart artery patients
This study looks at special eye scans (OCT) to see if they can help doctors predict how heart patients will do. It also uses artificial intelligence to analyze the scans. If you have had this type of scan during a heart procedure, you might be able to join.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges Any age - 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.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06800781Recruiting
Chest tube duration to prevent afib after heart surgery
This trial tests if leaving a chest tube in a little longer after heart surgery can lower the chance of developing atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm). It's for people having certain planned heart surgeries who have not had this rhythm problem before.
LundAges 18 years+ - NCT06588595RecruitingPhase 4
Switching Blood Thinners After Stent Placement
This study compares two ways to manage blood thinners after a stent. It tests whether switching from stronger drugs (prasugrel or ticagrelor) to clopidogrel is safe and effective for long-term heart protection.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05783804Recruiting
Early cholesterol-lowering to help reverse artery plaque
This trial studies whether starting strong cholesterol-lowering treatment early can reduce or reverse plaque in the arteries. It may help protect the heart over time, especially for people with inherited high cholesterol.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18–50 - NCT06197347Recruiting
Web program to help older adults be more active after heart treatment
This study tests a nurse-led website designed to help older adults become more physically active after heart surgery or a stent procedure. If you are interested in getting more active and live in the Montreal area, this program may support your recovery.
Montreal, QuebecAges 65 years+ - NCT07133984Recruiting
Heart imaging study for people with heart failure and blocked arteries
This study uses heart MRIs to learn more about people who have heart failure and significant blockages in their coronary arteries. If you are planning to have bypass surgery or a stent, the study may be a fit.
Brooklyn, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06448637Recruiting
Drug balloon vs. medicated stent for large heart arteries
This study compares two treatments for new blockages in large heart arteries: a drug-coated balloon (a balloon that releases medicine) versus a drug-coated stent (a small mesh tube). The goal is to see which one better helps the artery stay open and function normally.
BarcelonaAges 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+ - 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - 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.
Jonesboro, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT03327961Recruiting
Study of implanted scaffolds with follow-up in adults
This study follows adults who have had at least one scaffold placed to see how they do over time. It also looks at whether people can stick with the required anti-platelet medicines for at least a year, and whether they can be followed for a year.
Agrigento, AgrigentoAges 18 years+ - NCT03428048Recruiting
NEXUS Registry for coronary artery disease or Afib patients
This is a research registry that collects health information about people with coronary artery disease or Afib. It may help doctors and researchers better understand these heart conditions and improve future care.
Glenwood Springs, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT03470246Recruiting
Wearable activity coaching after heart surgery
This study tests a personalized activity program and coaching after heart surgery, using wearable sensors to track movement. It may help you recover more safely and move in a goal-directed way during rehabilitation.
KuopioAges 30–90 - NCT03587922Recruiting
Test a dissolving heart stent for blocked heart arteries
This study tests a dissolving scaffold (a type of temporary heart stent) in people with narrowed coronary arteries that are causing reduced blood flow. It aims to see if the device can be safely used as part of planned stenting or emergency bypass when needed.
ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT03789916RecruitingPhase 3
Aspirin alone versus two blood thinners after heart bypass
This Phase 3 trial compares two strategies to prevent blood clots after heart bypass surgery: aspirin alone versus aspirin plus ticagrelor. It aims to see which approach works better and is safer for people whose bypass does not fully restore blood flow.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT07587099Recruiting
Single vs. Dual Blood Thinners After Balloon Heart Treatment
This study compares whether patients who receive a special drug-coated balloon to open a blocked heart artery (without a stent) need to take one or two blood-thinning medications afterward. The goal is to find the safest and most effective approach for preventing future blockages.
