Recruiting studies
- 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.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 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 - 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 - 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 - NCT06959524Recruiting
AGENT balloon for new heart artery blockages
This trial tests a drug-coated balloon (AGENT DCB) versus standard angioplasty/stenting for new blockages in heart arteries. It aims to see if the coated balloon works better and is safe for people who haven't had prior stents in that spot.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 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 - NCT06822712Recruiting
Sirolimus-coated balloon for heart artery branch blockages
This trial tests a new balloon coated with sirolimus (a drug that helps prevent re-blockage) for treating blocked arteries at branch points (bifurcations) in the heart. If you have a blocked artery at a branch point, this study may offer a way to treat the side branch without placing a stent there.
Lanzhou, GansuAges 18–80 - NCT06866756Recruiting
Comparing two drug-coated balloons for heart artery treatment
This trial is comparing sirolimus and paclitaxel drug-coated balloons to treat new blockages or restenosis (re-blockage) in heart arteries. It aims to see which type of balloon works better for opening arteries without leaving a metal stent behind.
Vigo, PontevedraAges 18 years+ - NCT06182397Recruiting
Drug-coated balloon for leg artery blockages below the knee
This trial tests a special balloon coated with sirolimus (a drug that helps prevent arteries from re-closing) versus a standard balloon for opening blocked arteries below the knee in people with severe leg pain or foot wounds. The goal is to see if the drug-coated balloon works better to keep the artery open longer.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 21 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+ - 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.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT04511234Recruiting
Sirolimus-coated balloon vs standard balloon for leg artery narrowing
This trial compares two balloon treatments used during a procedure to open blocked or narrowed arteries in the thigh and behind the knee. It tests whether the sirolimus-coated balloon works better at keeping the artery open than a standard balloon.
SingaporeAges 21 years+ - NCT04511247Recruiting
Drug-coated balloon for artery disease below the knee
This trial tests a drug-coated balloon to open narrowed or blocked arteries in the lower leg (below the knee) and help them stay open. It’s meant for people with significant symptoms, to reduce re-narrowing after treatment.
SingaporeAges 21 years+ - NCT04627870Recruiting
Drug-coated balloon treatment for recurrent brain stent narrowing
This pilot study tests a catheter treatment called a drug-coated balloon to treat repeat narrowing inside a previously placed brain stent. It may help people whose stent has narrowed again and is causing reduced blood flow or stroke/TIA symptoms despite best medical therapy.
BeijingAges 18–80 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT05620095Recruiting
Drug-coated balloon angioplasty for lower leg artery blockages
This trial tests whether a drug-coated balloon can better reopen blocked arteries in the lower leg (below the knee). It may help keep blood flow open and reduce the chance the blockage comes back, after a procedure to cross and open the narrowed area.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05780359Recruiting
Testing a drug-coated stent for leg artery blockages
This study tests whether a special “drug-eluting” stent placed in a leg artery works safely and improves blood flow for people with peripheral artery disease. It may help reduce re-narrowing and improve walking, depending on your blockage details and overall health.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - 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 - NCT05938530Recruiting
Sirolimus balloon vs stent graft for blocked arm dialysis access
This trial compares two ways to reopen a blocked “dialysis access” vessel in the upper arm after a clot is treated. It may help keep blood flowing in the access longer and reduce the chance of re-blockage.
SingaporeAges 21–85 - 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 - 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.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18–80 - NCT06275386Recruiting
Drug-coated balloon for chronic heart artery blockages
This trial tests whether a special balloon coated with medicine (drug-coated balloon) can safely open a completely blocked heart artery, instead of using a permanent stent. It may be an option for people who have chronic chest pain or shortness of breath due to a long-standing blockage.
