Recruiting studies
- NCT06274411Recruiting
Backup ECMO for high-risk heart stenting
This trial studies a safe, backup ECMO machine for people with very weak hearts or complex blockages who need high-risk stenting. It helps keep your blood pumping if your heart struggles during the procedure.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07380217Recruiting
Using heart pump support for complex high-risk procedures
This trial is testing whether using a special heart pump (PulseCath iVAC2L) during complex, high-risk angioplasty can help people with very weak hearts. It's for people who need a procedure for complicated coronary artery blockages.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT07001332Recruiting
High-risk heart stent procedure study
This study tests a new device to help people with high-risk blockages in their heart arteries during a stent procedure. It compares the new device to standard treatment to see if it is safe and effective.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–88 - NCT05984537RecruitingPhase 4
Bivalirudin during angioplasty for high-risk heart plaques
This study tests whether a blood thinner called bivalirudin, given during a procedure to open blocked heart arteries (PCI), helps blood flow better in the tiny vessels of the heart afterward. It is for people with a recent unstable heart condition and a high-risk plaque seen on a CT scan.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07053618Recruiting
Heart pump support for high-risk heart procedures
This trial tests a temporary heart pump to support patients with weak hearts (ejection fraction 35% or less) who need a high-risk stent procedure instead of bypass surgery. The pump may help keep blood flowing during the procedure.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–90 - NCT07009418Recruiting
CT scan vs. usual care after heart stent or balloon treatment
This trial tests whether a CT scan of the heart arteries is a safe and effective alternative to standard follow-up tests in people who have had a stent or drug-coated balloon placed in a high-risk coronary artery. It may help reduce the need for additional invasive procedures.
Bucheon-siAges 19 years+ - NCT07149714Recruiting
Heart pump support for high-risk angioplasty
This trial tests the iVAC 2L device, a temporary heart pump placed in the main artery, to help patients who need a high-risk angioplasty (PCI) because of a very narrowed or blocked coronary artery. The goal is to prevent the heart from failing during the procedure.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT06542575Enrolling by invitation
Home heart rehab with app after stent
This trial tests a home-based program that uses a smartphone app (digital therapy) to help people with high-risk heart conditions after a stent procedure. The goal is to improve recovery through exercise and lifestyle support, all from home.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - 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+ - NCT07513376RecruitingPhase 3
Adjuvant vaccine plus immunotherapy for high-risk early lung cancer
This trial tests whether giving a personalized cancer vaccine (Intismeran) with or without an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab) after lung cancer surgery can help prevent the cancer from coming back in patients with early-stage, high-risk non-small cell lung cancer.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05923489Recruiting
Follow-up angiography after stent placement in high-risk patients
This study checks how routine repeat heart blood-vessel imaging (angiography) after stent placement may help high-risk patients. It is meant for people who had a successful stent procedure and have certain higher-risk heart features.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06984406Recruiting
Beet product for kidney protection during heart procedure
This trial tests a beet-derived food product (a natural source of nitrate) to see if it can help prevent kidney damage caused by the contrast dye used during a heart procedure called PCI. It is designed for people who already have a higher risk of this kidney problem.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT05334784Enrolling by invitation
Heart pump study for planned high-risk heart stent procedures
This study looks at using a temporary heart pump called Impella ECP during planned high-risk heart stent procedures (PCI). It may help doctors support the heart more safely while placing the stents.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–90 - NCT04240834RecruitingPhase 4
Low-dose ticagrelor vs aspirin after heart stent placement
This study compares ticagrelor taken at a lower dose versus regular aspirin to help prevent future heart attacks in people who recently had a stent placed after acute coronary syndrome. You may qualify if you’re considered “high risk” for new blockages or clots and can take dual anti-platelet therapy for 12 months.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04279457RecruitingPhase 4
Test whether special dye helps protect kidney function during heart procedures
This trial studies whether a device called Dye-Vert Plus can lower the risk of kidney injury from contrast dye during heart catheter procedures (CAG and/or PCI). It focuses on people at higher kidney risk, especially those with diabetes or high blood pressure.
Charleston, West VirginiaAges 18–90 - NCT07277686Recruiting
AI face scan for hidden heart disease in high-risk people
This trial tests whether an AI system can detect signs of coronary artery disease (blockages in heart arteries) by analyzing a photo of your face. It may help identify people in the community who need further heart testing.
Zhoukou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT07324720Recruiting
Comparing ischemia vs plaque risk for high-risk artery disease
This trial compares two ways to decide which heart artery blockages need treatment: one looks at blood flow, the other at plaque buildup and risk. It's for people with high-risk blockages to see which approach leads to better outcomes.
Seoul, Main BuildingAges 19 years+ - 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+ - NCT07042321Recruiting
Risk factors for blocked heart vessels after emergency angioplasty
This study looks at why some people develop micro-blockages in the heart's small blood vessels after emergency angioplasty (PCI) for a heart attack. If you join, you'll help doctors understand these risks and maybe prevent future problems.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for high-risk pci?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 19 recruiting high-risk pci studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a high-risk pci trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a high-risk pci trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
