- NCT05614050Recruiting
Study of outcomes after a heart stent procedure in China
This study follows people with coronary heart disease who get PCI (a procedure to open clogged heart arteries, often with a stent) and looks at their prognosis afterward. It may help researchers understand what affects recovery and outcomes after the procedure.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT06916520RecruitingPhase 4
Reduced dose prasugrel alone after stent placement
This trial tests if a lower dose of prasugrel, taken alone (without aspirin), is safe and works well for people who have had a stent placed for chest pain or a heart attack. It might be an option for those who need to simplify their medication routine.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06577038Enrolling by invitation
Registry for a new heart artery treatment
This study tracks how well a new treatment called intravascular lithotripsy works for opening up hardened heart arteries. If you're having this procedure, joining the registry helps doctors learn more about its benefits.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - 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.
ArlonAges 18 years+ - NCT01889459Recruiting
Registry after stent procedure for blocked heart arteries
This study follows people who had a stent placed for a long-standing blockage in a heart artery (called a CTO). It’s mainly a “registry” to understand outcomes after these procedures and help improve care in the future.
KurashikiAges 20 years+ - NCT06274645Recruiting
Study of IVUS for Complex Heart Procedures
This study will look at how using a special ultrasound (IVUS) during a heart procedure (PCI) can help people with complex blockages, such as heavy calcium or multiple narrowings. It aims to see if this approach improves outcomes.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT03450577Recruiting
Bifurcation heart artery registry study for adults
This registry study looks at adults with a specific kind of blockage pattern where a heart artery splits. By collecting information about these cases, the study aims to better understand treatment and outcomes for this condition.
Novosibirsk, Novosibirsk OblastAges 18–100 - NCT06930092Recruiting
Stents to improve heart function in heart failure
This study tests whether opening blocked heart arteries with stents can improve heart function in people with heart failure caused by coronary artery disease. It may be an option if your heart is weak and you have multiple blockages but no recent heart attack or dangerous rhythm.
Seoul, Chongno-guAges 19 years+ - NCT07093788Recruiting
Comparing two ways to treat hard calcium in heart arteries
This trial tests two methods for breaking up heavy calcium buildup in heart arteries before placing a stent. It compares a specialized high-pressure balloon to a device that uses shockwaves.
Lianyungang, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT05131750Recruiting
Study how RIR affects outcomes after heart stent procedures
This trial looks at a factor called RIR and whether it changes health outcomes for people with coronary heart disease who get a PCI (a heart stent procedure) while in the hospital. It may help doctors understand who benefits and how to improve care after stenting.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - 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.
Changsha, Hunan Province,ChinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07707427Recruiting
Comparing two guidewires for twisted wrist arteries during heart tests
This trial compares two different types of thin wires (guidewires) used during a coronary angiogram to see which one works better when your wrist artery has a twist or loop. The goal is to make the procedure smoother and safer for people with this common variation.
PátraiAges 18 years+ - NCT06460571Recruiting
Exercise after heart stent: with or without Delorme technique
This trial compares two types of cardiac rehab exercises for people age 70+ who recently got their first heart stent. It aims to see if adding progressive resisted exercises (the Delorme technique) helps improve breathing and recovery.
Sialkot, Punjab ProvinceAges 70–80 - NCT06959524Recruiting
AGENT balloon for new heart artery blockages
This trial tests a drug-coated balloon (AGENT DCB) versus standard angioplasty/stenting for new blockages in heart arteries. It aims to see if the coated balloon works better and is safe for people who haven't had prior stents in that spot.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 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+ - NCT07004569Recruiting
Angiolite Registry Study for heart artery stents
This study is testing a new type of stent for people with a blockage in the main artery of the heart. It aims to see how well the stent works and if it's safe.
Hong Kong, ShatinAges 19 years+ - NCT06931574Recruiting
Comparing two stent methods for complex heart branch blockages
This trial compares two ways of placing stents in complex blockages in heart artery branches (smaller arteries branching off main ones). It aims to see which technique works better for this specific type of blockage.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT06919562Recruiting
Better stent placement using imaging and newer scaffolds
This trial tests if using advanced imaging (like OCT or IVUS) to guide placement of a newer type of stent (bioresorbable scaffold) can reduce future stent problems. It is for people with stable coronary artery disease who need a stent in a main heart artery.
DordrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT05651802Recruiting
Brain MRI follow-up with or without preventive scans in SCLC
This study tests whether adding a preventive brain procedure (PCI) to standard follow-up brain MRIs helps people with limited-stage small-cell lung cancer stay disease-free longer. It compares “MRI only” versus “MRI plus PCI” after the cancer has fully responded to initial treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07657650Recruiting
Imaging test for heart failure patients before revascularization
This trial uses a special imaging scan to see if heart muscle has damage from blocked arteries. It helps doctors decide if a procedure to open blocked arteries might improve your heart function.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07742345Recruiting
Coronary support catheter for safer stent placement
This study tests a catheter that helps doctors guide stents and balloons through blocked heart arteries. It may make your procedure easier and safer if you need a stent placed.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07724184Recruiting
Treating calcified heart arteries with a stent
This trial tests a way to treat hardened, calcified heart artery blockages using a stent. It may help people who have moderate blockages that haven't been treated before.
AalborgAges 18–90 - 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.

- How do I know if I qualify for a 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 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.
