Recruiting studies
- 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 - NCT07269366Recruiting
Surgery vs stents for heart disease with weak heart pump
This trial compares two ways to restore blood flow to the heart—bypass surgery (CABG) or stents (PCI)—in people whose heart pumps weakly (LVEF 40% or less). It aims to find which method works better for chest pain or recent heart issues.
GroningenAges 18 years+ - NCT07090382Enrolling by invitation
Predicting shock risk in heart attack patients
This study uses an AI tool to predict which patients with a heart attack might develop cardiogenic shock, a serious complication where the heart can't pump enough blood. It aims to help doctors identify high-risk patients early.
BratislavaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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 - NCT07025148RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two blood thinners after stenting for high-risk patients
This trial tests switching from a standard blood thinner (clopidogrel) to a lower dose of a stronger one (prasugrel) in people who have had a stent placed and are at high risk for both bleeding and heart problems. The goal is to see if the switch better prevents clots while keeping bleeding risks low.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07001332Recruiting
Circulatory support for high-risk angioplasty
This study tests a device that helps keep blood moving during a high-risk angioplasty (a procedure to open blocked heart arteries). It may help patients who are not good candidates for standard angioplasty alone.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–88 - NCT05701358Recruiting
Guiding heart stent decisions to fully treat blocked arteries after a heart attack
This trial compares two ways doctors decide which additional blocked heart arteries to treat with stents soon after a heart attack. It may help patients avoid later heart problems by testing a “complete revascularization” strategy planned after the initial culprit artery was treated.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06795763Enrolling by invitation
New imaging & catheter system for blocked heart arteries
This trial tests a new imaging and catheter system to treat chronic total blockages in heart arteries. If you still have chest pain or other symptoms despite medical therapy, this study may help open the blockage and improve blood flow.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 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+ - NCT06577519RecruitingPhase 3
Study of vicagrel for heart attack patients getting stents
This trial tests a new medicine called vicagrel for people who have had a heart attack or unstable angina and are getting a stent. The goal is to see if it works better than standard treatments to prevent future heart problems.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–80 - NCT06227754Recruiting
OCT vs. angiography for heart attack treatment
This trial compares two ways to guide treatment during a heart attack: using a special camera (OCT) inside the artery or standard X-ray (angiography). It aims to see which method leads to better results for patients.
Daegu, DaeguAges 19 years+ - NCT05829889Recruiting
FFR test versus angiogram to guide left main heart treatment
This trial compares two ways to decide how to treat a narrowed “left main” coronary artery: a pressure-based test (FFR) versus standard X-ray imaging (angiography). It aims to see which approach better helps choose safe, appropriate treatment using a stent when appropriate.
Hong KongAges 20 years+ - NCT05785897Recruiting
Stent without polymer plus aspirin-like therapy for heart attack
This trial studies whether a specific stent (with no polymer coating) plus a single blood thinner plan with aspirin and another P2Y12 medicine is as safe and effective as the standard two-medicine plan after a STEMI heart attack. It may help people avoid longer exposure to stronger blood-thinning if the new approach works as well.
Geneva, Canton of GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT05698524RecruitingPhase 1
Temodar plus an investigational pill for recurrent brain cancer
This Phase 1 study tests an investigational drug (PCI-24781) together with Temodar in people whose high-grade glioma (grade III/IV) has come back after prior treatment. It aims to find a safe dose and see how well the combination may work for recurrent disease.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 19 years+ - NCT05491668Recruiting
Testing heart artery narrowing before planned stent procedure
This study checks how severely blocked a coronary artery is using measurements taken during a planned heart catheterization, to help guide whether and how to do a stent (PCI). It may help doctors choose the best treatment plan for people with about 70% or more narrowing.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 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.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 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+ - NCT02038127Recruiting
Heart procedure outcomes tracking registry
This study collects information from people having a heart procedure called percutaneous coronary intervention, or PCI, to learn more about their outcomes and improve future care.
Chuncheon, Gangwon-doAges Any age - NCT06855537RecruitingPhase 4
Treating unstable plaques that are not fully blocked
This trial compares treatments for heart patients who have a dangerous, but not fully blocking, fatty plaque in their arteries. It aims to see if treating these plaques with a stent or balloon can prevent future heart problems.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05490238Recruiting
Wrist vs arm access for complex heart procedures
This study compares using the wrist (radial artery) versus a different access site (conventional radial access approach) during complex, larger “bore” heart procedures to open blocked coronary arteries. It aims to see which approach is safer and works better for challenging cases like chronic blockages or heavily calcified arteries.
