Recruiting studies
- NCT07132255Enrolling by invitation
Study of remote robot-assisted heart stent placement
This trial tests whether a doctor can use a robot to place a heart stent while being in a different location. It is designed for people who need a stent to open a blocked heart artery.
Jimsar, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous RegionAges 18–80 - NCT06154395Recruiting
Improving heart blood flow after a first heart attack
This study tests a way to improve blood flow in the small vessels of the heart after a first heart attack. It is for people who have a specific type of heart attack in the front part of the heart and are treated quickly with a catheter procedure.
Harbin, HeilongjiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07711106Recruiting
Comparing expert IVUS to standard IVUS for left main artery stenting
This study compares two ways of using a special ultrasound camera (IVUS) inside your heart's main artery during stenting. The goal is to see if a new 'expert' computer system helps the doctor place the stent better than the standard IVUS method. It may help people with blockages at the Y-shaped split of the left main artery.
Saint PetersburgAges 18 years+ - NCT05554588Recruiting
Thrombus-finding treatments for heart attack during angioplasty
This trial compares two ways to remove or break up a blood clot during emergency heart artery opening (primary PCI) for a specific type of heart attack (STEMI). It may help patients with a high clot burden by testing whether one approach works better than the other to improve outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06380868Recruiting
Guiding Heart Stents in Diabetes Patients
This trial compares two ways to guide heart stent placement in people with diabetes. One method uses a special camera inside the artery (IVI), the other uses standard X-ray pictures. The goal is to see which leads to better outcomes.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06710210Recruiting
Hybrid scaffold-balloon vs standard stent for long blockages
This trial tests a new way to treat long, narrow blockages in heart arteries. Instead of using a standard permanent metal stent, doctors will combine a temporary scaffold with a special balloon that releases medication. The goal is to see if this approach works as well as or better than the usual metal stent.
Geneva, Canton of GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT06878729Recruiting
Comparing two ways to open a blocked heart artery
This trial tests two procedures—antegrade dissection/re-entry and the retrograde method—to treat a completely blocked artery. It compares which technique works better for patients with complex blockages.
Warsaw, WarsawAges 18 years+ - NCT07361783Recruiting
Heparin before hospital for heart attack
This trial tests whether giving a blood thinner (heparin) early, before you get to the hospital for a heart attack procedure, can improve outcomes. It is for people having a specific type of heart attack (STEMI) who will receive a balloon angioplasty within 2 hours.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07479433Recruiting
New approach to plan stent placement using CT scans
This study tests if using a special CT scan analysis can help doctors plan where to place stents for blocked arteries. It might make the procedure safer and more effective for people who are scheduled for a planned stent procedure.
Marietta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07512778Recruiting
Heart stent placement guided by ultrasound vs. imaging
This trial compares two ways doctors place heart stents in patients having a heart attack or unstable chest pain. One method uses ultrasound imaging inside the artery (IVUS), and the other uses standard X-ray imaging. The goal is to see which approach leads to better outcomes.
Seoul, Eunpyeong-guAges 19–90 - NCT07691502Recruiting
Using CT scans before angioplasty to plan treatment
This trial tests if using a special heart CT scan (CCTA with FFRCT) before a planned angioplasty can help doctors better plan where to place stents. You may be eligible if you have a narrowing in one or two heart arteries that haven't been treated before.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 22 years+ - NCT07773870Recruiting
Cold weather exposure and heart healing after stent placement
This study looks at how living or working in cold regions affects heart recovery after a stent procedure. Participants will have heart imaging at the start and again 6 months later to see if cold exposure impacts heart function.
Beijing, Please Select An Option BelowAges 18–80 - NCT07422688Enrolling by invitation
Using light scans to find heart artery blockages
This trial uses a special light-based scan (optical coherence tomography, or OCT) to help doctors see inside your heart arteries and find the exact blockage causing your heart attack. It may help guide treatment more precisely.
GenkAges 18 years+ - NCT04780971Recruiting
Testing heart pressure measurements after a successful CTO stent
This trial studies whether special heart measurements and detailed artery scans (OCT) can better confirm how well a stent procedure worked in people with a blocked coronary artery (CTO). It may help doctors check treatment results more precisely after PCI.
NijmegenAges 18 years+ - NCT07297641Recruiting
Imaging-guided vs X-ray-guided PCI for blocked stents
This trial compares two ways to guide a procedure to reopen a stent that has narrowed again: using a special camera inside the artery (IVUS) versus standard X-ray (angiography). It aims to see which approach works better for people who have a drug-eluting stent that is narrowing for the first time.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - 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 - NCT06985693Recruiting
AI-assisted stent placement study for heart disease
This trial tests whether a new artificial intelligence tool called Medipixel XA can help doctors place stents more precisely in blocked heart arteries. If you have coronary artery disease and need a stent, this study could be an option.
Gwangmyeong, Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - 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 - NCT05946629Recruiting
Drug-coated stent trial for narrowed heart arteries
This trial studies a drug-coated balloon (plus standard heart medicines) to treat a specific type of blockage in the heart arteries in people who need an intervention. It may help keep the artery open and prevent the narrowing from coming back, depending on how well you match the detailed heart and medication requirements.
Jonesboro, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT05248165Recruiting
Heart artery disease patients having stent placement
This study enrolls adults with blocked heart arteries who need a procedure called PCI (stent placement). It collects real-world information to help understand and improve care for people like you.
NaplesAges 18 years+ - NCT05329285Recruiting
Compare bypass or stent for heart weakness from blocked arteries
This study compares two ways to improve blood flow in people with weakened heart pumping (ischemic cardiomyopathy): bypass surgery (CABG) versus stent treatment (PCI). It aims to see which approach works better when the heart still has enough at-risk muscle and when best medical therapy is already started.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT05332262Recruiting
Study to predict heart damage risk during planned angioplasty
This trial focuses on people with stable coronary artery disease who are scheduled for planned angioplasty (PCI). It looks for a “precision medicine” approach to identify who may be at risk for a small heart injury around the procedure, so doctors can better prevent it.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05427370Recruiting
Compare bypass or stent treatment in weak heart patients
This study compares two ways to restore blood flow to the heart—bypass surgery (CABG) or stent procedure (PCI)—in people with a weak pumping heart. It looks at which approach works best when the heart muscle is not pumping well and there are multiple blocked heart arteries.
