- 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.
HomburgAges 18 years+ - NCT05353140Recruiting
Left atrial appendage device vs blood thinners after stent
This trial compares a heart device that can help prevent blood clots in the heart (called LAAO) versus long-term blood thinners for people who have atrial fibrillation and recently had a stent placed. It aims to see which approach better prevents stroke and related blood-clot problems while keeping side effects manageable.
Xi'an, ShannxiAges 18 years+ - NCT07329699Recruiting
AI-Guided Heart Artery Pressure Test vs Standard Test
This study compares a new artificial intelligence (AI) method to measure blood flow in your heart arteries (called Medipixel FFR) with the standard invasive method. If you are scheduled for a heart angiogram or stenting and have a moderate blockage (40-90% narrowing) that doctors are unsure about, this AI tool may help decide the best treatment for you.
Seoul, Select StateAges 19 years+ - NCT06847568RecruitingPhase 3
Adrenaline during heart artery procedure to prevent poor blood flow
This study tests whether giving adrenaline (a medicine that helps blood vessels relax) directly into the heart artery during a procedure to open a blocked artery can prevent a complication called 'no reflow' (where blood still doesn't flow well after the blockage is cleared). It is for people having a specific type of heart attack (STEMI) and being treated within 12 hours.
CairoAges 18 years+ - NCT06869239Recruiting
Predicting response to PD-L1 inhibitor after chemoradiotherapy for limited-stage small cell lung cancer
This study uses a blood test to see if it can predict how well the PD-L1 inhibitor (an immunotherapy drug) works after standard chemotherapy and radiation for limited-stage small cell lung cancer. It aims to find better ways to match treatment to patients.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07316504Recruiting
Best method to fix a stent that is not fully open
This trial compares different ways to fix a stent that hasn't expanded properly inside a coronary artery. If you have a narrowed stent (restenosis) that looks like it's not fully open, this study may help determine the best treatment approach.
Clermont-Ferrand, AuvergneAges 18 years+ - NCT07312318Recruiting
AI predicts heart artery changes after stenting
This study uses artificial intelligence to predict how heart arteries might change after a stent procedure (PCI). Researchers will collect blood samples and medical data to develop a tool that could help doctors make better treatment decisions.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07292909RecruitingPhase 4
Effect of Empagliflozin on Inflammation for Coronary Patients
This trial tests if the diabetes drug empagliflozin can help reduce inflammation in people with stable coronary artery disease who are planning to have a stent placed. It may offer a new way to protect heart health.
Beirut, BeirutAges 18 years+ - NCT07231835Recruiting
Coronary outcomes with drug-coated balloon treatment
This study tracks patients who receive a special balloon coated with medicine (paclitaxel) to open blocked heart arteries. It aims to understand how well this treatment works for various types of blockages.
AmsterdamAges 18 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+ - NCT07198529Recruiting
Short blood thinners after stenting for stable angina
This trial is testing a way to shorten the time you need to take blood thinners after getting a specific type of heart stent. It uses a special camera (OCT) inside the artery to help decide if stents are placed well enough to allow less time on dual antiplatelet therapy.
Seoul, Gurodong-ro, Guro-guAges 19 years+ - NCT07175077Recruiting
7T MRI scan to find tiny brain metastases in small-cell lung cancer
This trial uses a powerful 7T MRI scanner to detect very small brain metastases in people with small-cell lung cancer who choose not to get preventive brain radiation. The goal is to see if this advanced scan can find hidden spots in the brain that regular MRIs miss.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT07149714Recruiting
Heart pump support for high-risk angioplasty
This trial tests the iVAC 2L device, a temporary heart pump placed in the main artery, to help patients who need a high-risk angioplasty (PCI) because of a very narrowed or blocked coronary artery. The goal is to prevent the heart from failing during the procedure.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT07151976Recruiting
Clot removal and imaging study for heart attack patients
This trial uses a special camera (OCT) to look inside the heart's arteries during a heart attack and compares the images with the actual material removed from the clot. It aims to better understand what causes heart attacks and improve future treatments.
Toyoake, Aichi-kenAges 20 years+ - NCT07114393Recruiting
Better imaging to guide complex heart artery procedures
This study looks at whether using advanced imaging inside the heart arteries during complex procedures leads to better outcomes compared to current standard practice. If you have had a complex angioplasty (PCI) and your data is in a national heart registry, you may be included.
Eindhoven, North BrabantAges 18 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 - NCT06509893RecruitingPhase 4
Ticagrelor alone after stent placement
This study tests if a single blood thinner (ticagrelor) works well enough after getting a heart stent, instead of the usual two blood thinners. It may simplify your daily medication routine.
Shiraz, FarsAges 20–80 - NCT07038408Recruiting
Comparing two procedures for opening blocked heart arteries
This trial tests whether using a drug-coated balloon with a scaffold is better than using a scaffold alone for people with narrowed or blocked heart arteries. It looks at which method helps the artery stay open longer.
TallinnAges 18–68 - 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+ - NCT07009418Recruiting
CT scan vs. usual care after heart stent or balloon treatment
This trial tests whether a CT scan of the heart arteries is a safe and effective alternative to standard follow-up tests in people who have had a stent or drug-coated balloon placed in a high-risk coronary artery. It may help reduce the need for additional invasive procedures.
Bucheon-siAges 19 years+ - NCT07008716RecruitingPhase 3
Omitting CTV for primary tumor in limited-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests whether treating the main tumor alone, without the nearby lymph nodes, can work as well in limited-stage small cell lung cancer after initial chemotherapy. You may qualify if you have not had disease progression after 2-4 cycles of standard chemo and meet other health criteria.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - 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+ - NCT06400290Recruiting
Balloon test to find which artery causes chest pain
This study tests a new way to find which blocked heart arteries are causing your chest pain. During a stent procedure, doctors will briefly block each artery to see which one triggers your symptoms. This might help them decide which blockages to treat.
BasildonAges 18 years+ - NCT06959524Recruiting
Drug-coated balloon for new coronary blockages
This trial is testing a special balloon coated with medication to treat newly formed blockages in the heart's arteries. The medication may help keep the artery open after the balloon opens it during a standard procedure.
