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 - NCT07860671Recruiting
Heart pump comparison for high-risk angioplasty procedures
This study compares two types of temporary heart pumps used during a high-risk angioplasty (a procedure to open blocked heart arteries). It aims to see which one provides better support for patients with weak hearts, potentially leading to safer outcomes.
BeijingAges 18–90 - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - NCT07876336Enrolling by invitation
Gene testing for heart patients on clopidogrel in Egypt
This study looks at how well your body processes clopidogrel (a blood thinner), based on your genes. It aims to see if certain gene changes affect how the medicine works for Egyptian patients after heart procedures.
GizaAges 18–70 - NCT05967663Recruiting
Staged vs same-day heart artery repair after a heart attack
This study compares doing all heart artery procedures right away versus doing part of them later in people who had a heart attack and have blockage in more than one artery. It aims to see which approach is safer and works better after the initial emergency procedure.
ShanghaiAges 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+ - NCT07833995Recruiting
Long-term outcomes after heart attack and stenting
This study looks at what happens to people after they have a heart attack and receive a stent (a small mesh tube) to open the blocked heart artery. It will track their health over time to better understand the short- and long-term risks of heart and brain events like another heart attack or stroke, so doctors can improve care.
ShanghaiAges 18 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 - 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+ - NCT05812963Recruiting
IVUS vs FFR to guide stents after heart attacks
This trial compares two ways of measuring blood flow inside the heart arteries (IVUS vs FFR) to help decide which non–culprit artery narrowings need a stent after a recent heart attack. It may help doctors choose the best targets for PCI and avoid unnecessary procedures.
GwangjuAges 19 years+ - NCT05527717RecruitingPhase 4
PCI vs strategy for heart attack shock needing ECMO
This study looks at the best way to reopen blocked heart arteries (using a stent procedure) in people who had a heart attack complicated by severe shock and need a life-support machine called VA-ECMO. It may help improve outcomes by testing which revascularization approach works best for multi-vessel blockages.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT07638137Recruiting
Advanced Heart Catheter Testing for Stent Patients With Chest Pain
This study tests a detailed diagnostic procedure during heart catheterization for patients who previously had stents placed and now have chest pain or signs of heart stress. The goal is to better understand blood flow in treated arteries to guide treatment decisions.
Leganés, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT07635407Recruiting
Virtual Stent Planning to Improve Heart Artery Procedures
This trial tests whether using computer software to virtually plan stent placement before your heart procedure leads to better outcomes. The goal is to optimize how stents are positioned in your coronary arteries.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06542653Recruiting
PCI for chronic heart artery blockages
This trial looks at how a procedure to open a long-clogged heart artery (called PCI) affects patients' long-term health. If you have had a complete blockage in a heart artery but no recent major heart attack, bypass surgery, or cancer, you may be able to join.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT07436429Recruiting
Drug-coated balloon for heart attack treatment
This trial tests if a special balloon that releases medication can be used instead of a stent during emergency angioplasty for certain heart attacks. It may help patients who are having a first-time heart attack and are stable enough for the procedure.
ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT06813534Recruiting
IVUS-guided stent placement for kidney disease patients
This trial tests whether using a special ultrasound camera inside the artery (IVUS) to guide stent placement can improve outcomes for people with serious kidney disease. The goal is to use less contrast dye and protect the kidneys better.
