Recruiting studies
- NCT06104033Recruiting
Drug-coated balloon for patients with heart artery disease in multiple vessels
This trial tests whether a drug-coated balloon is a good treatment option for people who have blockages in two or more heart arteries. It aims to see if this approach can safely open blocked arteries without a permanent stent.
SeoulAges 19–100 - NCT04814212Recruiting
Testing a drug-coated balloon for people with bleeding risk
This trial looks at whether a “drug-coated balloon” used during a heart procedure (PCI) is safer or better for people who are at higher risk of bleeding while on blood thinners. It may help reduce complications around the time of the procedure in people like you.
Jyväskylä, Central FinlandAges 18 years+ - NCT06365502Recruiting
Preventing future heart attacks with drug-coated balloon
This trial tests whether a balloon coated with medicine (drug-coated balloon) can prevent future heart attacks by treating high-risk plaques in arteries that are not the one that caused your current heart attack. You may qualify if you already had a stent placed and have another mildly blocked artery with certain vulnerable features.
Beijin, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07806370Recruiting
Balloon vs. Stent for Heart Attack Patients with High Clot Burden
This study compares two treatments for heart attack patients with a large blood clot in the blocked artery: a drug-coated balloon versus a drug-eluting stent. The goal is to see which approach better prevents slow blood flow or no reflow right after the procedure.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–75 - NCT07794839Recruiting
Drug-coated balloon treatment for heart artery blockages
This trial tests a special balloon that releases medicine to open blocked heart arteries. It may help people with chest pain or silent ischemia by keeping arteries open longer.
IstanbulAges Any age - NCT06527963Recruiting
Balloon types for fistula narrowing in dialysis patients
This trial compares two types of balloons used to open up narrowed areas in the blood vessels of dialysis patients. It aims to find which balloon works better for keeping the fistula working well.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT06553443RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing coated and plain balloons for dialysis access narrowing
This trial tests whether a drug-coated balloon works better than a plain balloon to open up narrowed spots in your dialysis access. If you have a failing AVF with a narrowing that can be treated, this study may help improve your dialysis.
SingaporeAges 21 years+ - NCT04619277Recruiting
Drug-coated balloon for a new coronary artery blockage
This trial studies whether a drug-coated balloon can treat a brand-new (de novo) blockage in the coronary arteries. If you may qualify, it could offer a way to reduce problems from this blockage using a device that delivers medicine during treatment.
UlsanAges Any age - NCT07764094Recruiting
Balloon treatment for blocked heart arteries
This trial tests how the way a drug-coated balloon is used during a heart procedure affects outcomes for people with stable heart disease or unstable angina. It may help doctors find the best technique to keep arteries open.
Chuzhou, AnhuiAges 18–80 - NCT06618248Recruiting
Sirolimus balloon for heart artery blockages at branches
This study tests a balloon coated with sirolimus (a medicine to prevent re-narrowing) to treat blockages in branch arteries of the heart. It may help patients who need a stent in the main artery but have a side branch that can be treated with this balloon instead of a stent.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT07542938Recruiting
Drug-coated balloon for narrowed brain arteries
This trial tests a special balloon catheter coated with a drug (sirolimus) to treat narrowed arteries inside the brain caused by atherosclerosis (plaque buildup). The goal is to keep the artery open and prevent future strokes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05544864Recruiting
Stent or balloon treatment guided by heart scar pattern
This study looks at how to treat blocked heart arteries that have narrowed again after a prior drug-eluting stent. It compares using another drug-eluting stent versus a drug-coated balloon, chosen based on an imaging scan inside the artery (OCT), to reduce repeat narrowing.
Frankfurt am Main, HesseAges 18 years+ - NCT06422845Recruiting
Drug-coated balloon for dialysis fistula narrowing
This trial tests a special balloon that releases medication to help keep your dialysis fistula (the blood vessel used for treatment) open longer if it has narrowed. It may be a good option if you have a blockage in the vein side of your fistula that causes problems during dialysis.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–80 - NCT07436429Recruiting
Drug-coated balloon for heart attack treatment
This trial tests if a special balloon that releases medication can be used instead of a stent during emergency angioplasty for certain heart attacks. It may help patients who are having a first-time heart attack and are stable enough for the procedure.
ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT07385573Recruiting
Testing a drug-coated balloon for leg artery blockages
This trial tests a special balloon that releases medication to help keep leg arteries open. It's for people with narrowed or blocked arteries in the leg, either above or below the knee.
AalstAges 18–99 - 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–110 - NCT07369765Recruiting
Balloon vs stent for blocked arteries
This trial compares two procedures to open completely blocked coronary arteries: a drug-coated balloon or a drug-eluting stent. It may help patients with a single, medium-length blockage in a large enough artery.
IstanbulAges Any age - NCT07363161Recruiting
Drug-coated balloon vs. stent for high-risk heart disease
This trial compares two treatments for people with complex coronary artery disease who have high-risk conditions or complicated blockages: a drug-coated balloon (DCB) versus a drug-eluting stent (DES). Both are ways to open up narrowed arteries and keep them open without surgery.
HomburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07303439Recruiting
Comparing heart artery treatments in people with diabetes
This study compares using a special medicated balloon plus a medicated stent versus using just one of them to open blocked heart arteries in people with diabetes. It aims to find which treatment works better to keep arteries open longer.
Dublin, County DublinAges 18 years+ - NCT07231835Recruiting
Coronary outcomes with drug-coated balloon treatment
This study tracks patients who receive a special balloon coated with medicine (paclitaxel) to open blocked heart arteries. It aims to understand how well this treatment works for various types of blockages.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT07229248RecruitingPhase 3
Balloon vs. Stent in Young Heart Attack Patients
This trial compares a drug-coated balloon (DCB) to a drug-eluting stent (DES) in younger adults having their first major heart attack. The goal is to see which treatment works better when the artery is opened quickly.
KarachiAges 18–49 - NCT07191860Recruiting
Coated balloon for non-cancerous airway narrowing
This trial tests a special balloon coated with a medicine (paclitaxel) to open narrowed windpipes. It is for people whose windpipe is blocked by scar tissue from a ventilator, transplant, or other non-cancer causes, not from cancer.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 22 years+ - NCT05307263Recruiting
Atherectomy plus drug balloon versus drug balloon alone
This study compares two ways to treat complex blockages in the thigh/knee artery: using atherectomy followed by a medicated balloon versus using a medicated balloon by itself. It may help your care team learn which approach works best to open the artery and improve leg symptoms.
SeoulAges 19–85 - NCT07045194Recruiting
Study of Virtue balloon for coronary stent re-narrowing
This trial tests a special balloon to treat narrowed areas inside a previously placed heart stent. It may help by reopening the artery without adding another stent.
