Chrzanów, ChrzanowAges 18–80 - NCT05305482Recruiting
Compare two stents after heart attack treatment
This trial compares two types of stents that release medicine to help keep arteries open after an acute coronary syndrome event (often called a heart attack or unstable angina). It tests whether the standard short course of two blood-thinning medicines for one month is enough, and which stent strategy works best.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06954714Recruiting
Balloon vs stent for new heart blockages
This trial compares two treatments for new blockages in heart arteries: a drug-coated balloon (a tiny balloon that delivers medicine) versus a drug-eluting stent (a small mesh tube that releases medicine). The study hopes to see which approach keeps the artery open longer and is safer over time.
Busan, BusanAges 19 years+ - NCT06014060Recruiting
Shorter vs. longer blood thinner therapy after stenting for high Lp(a)
This trial compares 12 months versus 24 months of dual antiplatelet therapy (two blood thinners) after a stent placement in people with high lipoprotein(a) levels. It aims to see if longer treatment reduces heart risks without increasing bleeding.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06742931Recruiting
Balloon vs stent for heart artery blockages in high bleeding risk patients
This trial compares a drug-coated balloon (medicated balloon) to a drug-eluting stent (medicated mesh tube) for treating new blockages in heart arteries. It is designed for patients with a high risk of bleeding who have completed a short course of anti-clotting medication and have been event-free for at least one year.
AnsanAges 19 years+ - NCT06742125Recruiting
Drug balloon vs. stent for heart attack treatment
This trial compares two ways to treat a major heart attack: using a drug-coated balloon or a drug-eluting stent. If you are having a heart attack and need emergency angioplasty, you may qualify if your artery blockages meet specific size limits and you have no bleeding risks or allergies to the medicines used.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06746233Recruiting
Balloon versus stent for heart attack treatment
This trial compares a drug-coated balloon to a drug-coated stent for opening blocked arteries during a heart attack. It aims to see which device works better for patients having a specific type of heart attack called STEMI.
Banja LukaAges 18 years+ - NCT06710210Recruiting
Combining two heart treatments for long blocked arteries
This study tests a new way to treat long, narrow blockages in the heart's arteries. It combines a temporary scaffold with a drug-coated balloon, which may help the artery heal without a permanent metal stent. This could be an option for people who need their artery opened but may benefit from a less permanent approach.
Geneva, Canton of GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT06551662Recruiting
Balloon vs. stent for split artery blockages
This trial compares two ways to open a blocked artery that splits into two branches (a bifurcation): using a balloon coated with medicine (drug-coated balloon, or DCB) versus a drug-eluting stent (DES). The goal is to see which approach works better for patients with this type of blockage.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06451198RecruitingPhase 4
Indobufen vs aspirin after stent in older heart patients
This trial tests whether a blood thinner called indobufen works as well as aspirin for older people (65+) who have had a heart attack or unstable angina, received a drug-eluting stent, and are already taking two blood thinners. The goal is to find a safer or better option for long-term prevention.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 65 years+ - NCT05885932Recruiting
Stent treatment versus medicines for blocked neck artery
This study compares a drug-coated stent placed in a neck (vertebral) artery versus best medical treatment with medicines and risk-factor control. It aims to reduce problems caused by a badly narrowed artery after recent stroke-like symptoms.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05782777Recruiting
Cholesterol medicines after stent: combo pill vs single pill
This trial compares two cholesterol-lowering treatment plans after a heart procedure where new drug-eluting stents were placed: a combination of high-intensity statin plus ezetimibe versus high-intensity statin alone. It may help find which option lowers cholesterol more effectively and safely over the first year after the procedure.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT05418556RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing antiplatelet strategies after heart stent
This study compares two ways of choosing blood thinners after a heart stent procedure. It aims to see if using an imaging-guided strategy leads to better outcomes than usual care.
Bucheon-siAges 19 years+ - NCT01788592Recruiting
Study of drug-coated stents in routine heart procedure care
This study follows people who need a heart procedure to open narrowed coronary arteries using a drug-coated stent. It aims to see how well these stents work and how people do in everyday clinical practice.
SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT04948749Recruiting
Stenting plus medication to prevent stroke from narrowed brain arteries
This trial tests whether placing a stent in a severely narrowed brain artery, along with aggressive medication, can prevent another stroke better than medication alone. It is for people who had a mild stroke within the last 30 days due to a 70-99% blockage in a major brain artery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT01186133Recruiting
Testing drug-coated stents in routine heart artery treatment
This trial looks at how different types of drug-coated stents work in everyday care for people with blocked heart arteries. It may help doctors choose the best stent type to keep the artery open after treatment.
Multiple LocationsAges 19 years+ - NCT04912323Recruiting
Drug dissolving stent for blocked below-knee arteries
This trial studies a drug-eluting dissolving scaffold placed in blocked arteries below the knee to improve blood flow. It may help people whose leg circulation problems are severe enough to limit walking or threaten the limb, but only if their blockages fit specific imaging and procedure requirements.
GrazAges 18–90 - NCT06075940Recruiting
A dissolving stent for blocked leg arteries below the knee
This study tests a new bioresorbable scaffold (like a temporary mesh) that slowly dissolves, releasing medication to keep your below-the-knee artery open. It is for people with severely blocked leg arteries causing pain or wounds at rest (Rutherford 4 or 5).
Randwick, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06086496Enrolling by invitation
Study of a new drug-releasing stent for heart arteries
This trial tests a new type of stent (a small mesh tube) that slowly releases a medicine called sirolimus to keep your heart artery open after angioplasty. It is designed for people with narrowing in their heart arteries who need a stent.
Seoul, SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06718179RecruitingPhase 4
Short vs. 12-month prasugrel and aspirin after a heart attack with a stent
This trial compares taking a shorter course of prasugrel (a blood thinner) plus aspirin after a heart attack versus the standard 12-month course. It aims to see if a shorter duration is just as effective and safer for people who got a specific type of stent (everolimus-eluting).
AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT07352852Recruiting
