- 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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.
Créteil, CreteilAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT07587294Recruiting
Ultrasound Treatment to Prevent Heart Rhythm Problems After Heart Attack
This trial tests whether a special ultrasound procedure on the side of your neck can help prevent dangerous irregular heartbeats in patients who recently had a heart attack treated with a stent. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective.
Huangshi, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT07773272Recruiting
Combined heart, kidney, and metabolic care after a heart attack
This study tests a new approach to managing heart, kidney, and metabolic health together after a heart attack or unstable angina. It aims to improve your recovery and reduce future risks.
Heerlen, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07763340Recruiting
Photon-counting ct heart scan for people with coronary stents
This study tests a new type of CT scan that takes very detailed pictures of the heart and stents. It may help doctors see whether stents remain open and guide future care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–100 - NCT07764094Recruiting
Balloon treatment for blocked heart arteries
This trial tests how the way a drug-coated balloon is used during a heart procedure affects outcomes for people with stable heart disease or unstable angina. It may help doctors find the best technique to keep arteries open.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT05638867RecruitingPhase 4
Blood thinner choice guided by risk score for heart attack patients
This trial is testing whether a newer type of blood thinner (called a NOAC) can be used safely right after a heart attack or related event, in addition to the standard two antiplatelet medicines. It focuses on patients who have higher risk signs, like elevated D-dimer levels or a higher PARIS risk score, to see if this approach is safe and effective at preventing future heart problems.
