Recruiting studies
- NCT05644314Recruiting
Drug-coated stent for narrowed vertebral arteries
This trial studies whether a drug-coated stent placed in a narrowed vertebral artery can improve outcomes for people with artery narrowing from plaque. It also looks at how safe the stent is, since it requires specific blood-thinning medicines around the procedure.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT04944615Recruiting
IVUS-guided stent placement for blocked heart artery using longer guidance
This trial compares two ways to place a stent (a small mesh tube) for a completely blocked heart artery: using an IVUS camera inside the artery versus using a standard x-ray approach. It may help people get better heart outcomes by improving how accurately the stent is placed in long-term blockages.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05674630RecruitingPhase 4
Drug-coated balloon for coronary artery blockages
This trial studies whether a drug-coated balloon can treat certain coronary artery narrowings in adults with chronic (long-term) coronary disease. It may help prevent re-narrowing after the procedure for people whose tests show the blockage is significant and needs treatment.
LuganoAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06066450Recruiting
OSFIT Stent for Coronary Artery Blockage
This trial tests a special stent (OSFIT) in people with a blockage near the start of a coronary artery. The goal is to see if the stent works well for this specific location.
SuwonAges 19 years+ - 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+ - NCT05731687Recruiting
Balloon or two-stent approach for clogged bifurcation arteries
This trial compares two ways to open a specific type of heart blockage that involves both a main artery and a side branch. It tests whether using a drug-coated balloon (“hybrid strategy”) works as well as using a planned two-stent approach (“stepwise provisional strategy”).
Eindhoven, North BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT05759676Recruiting
Diabetes and a new drug-free heart stent after angioplasty
This trial tests whether a polymer-free amphilimus-eluting stent is safe and works well for people with diabetes after a recent heart blockage procedure. It may help improve how well the artery stays open, while tracking side effects over time.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - 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 - NCT06692140Recruiting
Comparing two types of stents for heart artery treatment
This trial compares a newer type of stent (with very thin struts and a coating that dissolves) to a standard stent in people having a heart artery procedure. It aims to see if the new stent works as well or better.
AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT07539324Recruiting
Drug-coated balloon vs stent for multiple blocked heart arteries
This study compares two treatments for people with blockages in more than one heart artery. One treatment uses a drug-coated balloon to open the artery, and the other uses a drug-releasing stent. The goal is to see which approach is safer and works better.
UlsanAges 20 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+ - NCT07499791RecruitingPhase 2
Absorbable stent for recurrent tear duct infection
This trial tests a new type of dissolvable stent that slowly releases medicine to treat chronic tear duct infections that have come back after previous surgery. It may help people who need another treatment option.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT07498374Recruiting
Drug-eluting stent for eosinophilic sinusitis with nasal polyps
This trial tests a fully dissolvable stent that releases medication inside the sinuses after surgery. It is for patients with a specific type of sinusitis (eosinophilic) and nasal polyps who either need surgery or have had surgery and show early signs of inflammation returning.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–65 - NCT07491107Recruiting
Registry of a new drug-eluting stent for complex coronary lesions
This study tracks how well a new drug-eluting stent (a small mesh tube that keeps arteries open and releases medicine to prevent re-narrowing) performs in people with complex coronary artery disease. It aims to see if the stent is safe and effective in real-world patients with long, calcified, or multiple blocked arteries.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT05692882Recruiting
Registry for stent treatment in narrowed brain arteries in China
This study records outcomes for people with significant narrowing in brain arteries who have treatment using a drug-eluting stent. It may help doctors understand how well this approach works and what risks or benefits to expect.
ChenzhouAges 18–85 - NCT06857058Recruiting
Drug-eluting stent for brain artery narrowing
This trial tests a drug-coated stent to treat severe narrowing in brain arteries. It may help reduce the risk of stroke in people with hardened arteries in the brain.
ZhengzhouAges 18–80 - NCT07230847Recruiting
Healing of drug-coated vs. standard stents in high-bleeding-risk patients
This trial compares two types of stents (a drug-coated stent and a standard drug-eluting stent) in people with acute coronary syndrome who also have a high risk of bleeding. It uses a special camera to look at how the artery heals one month after the stent is placed.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07197970RecruitingPhase 3
Stent for blocked brain arteries
This trial tests whether a drug-coated stent can help people with severely narrowed brain arteries that have already caused a stroke or mini-stroke. It aims to improve blood flow and prevent future strokes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07190781Enrolling by invitation
Building a stent registry for unruptured brain aneurysms
This trial is collecting information from people who already received a specific type of stent (Lattice Flow-Diverting Dense-Mesh Stent) to treat an unruptured brain aneurysm. The goal is to learn how well the stent works and improve future treatments.
