Recruiting studies
- NCT06564909RecruitingPhase 2

This trial uses a special ultrasound camera inside the heart's arteries to guide stent placement for people with chronic kidney disease. The goal is to see if this approach improves outcomes compared to standard methods.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18 years+ - NCT04968808Recruiting
Find best timing for stent procedure in NSTEMI with multiple vessel disease
This trial compares when to do a stent procedure (PCI) in people with NSTEMI who have disease in more than one coronary artery (non-IRA). It may help doctors choose the safest and most effective timing for treatment to improve outcomes.
GwangjuAges 19 years+ - NCT01311323Recruiting
Testing heart procedures to fully open blocked coronary arteries
This trial compares different ways to treat serious heart artery blockages in people with a recent heart attack or unstable chest pain. It aims to see which revascularization approach works best when doctors think the heart arteries can be fully treated.
Chrzanów, MalopolskaAges 18 years+ - NCT06615609Recruiting
Heart health management after bypass or stent
This trial tests a smartphone-based program to help people manage their blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol after heart procedures like bypass surgery or stenting. It aims to improve long-term heart health.
Ürümqi, XinjiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06654453Recruiting
Clot removal during heart catheterization after clot-busting medicine
This study tests whether removing a clot with a special suction device during a heart catheterization helps people who already received a clot-busting medicine for a severe heart attack. It may improve blood flow and reduce damage to the heart muscle.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT03756870Recruiting
Stent procedure vs best medical care for blocked heart arteries
This trial studies whether opening a completely blocked heart artery (a CTO) with a procedure and stent helps reduce areas of low blood flow in the heart, compared with the best medicines alone. It uses heart scans to find people likely to benefit and then checks results again at 6 months.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06736665Recruiting
Comparing two ways to treat hardened calcium in heart arteries
This trial compares two techniques (orbital atherectomy and intravascular lithotripsy) to break up tough calcium deposits in the heart's arteries that can block blood flow. If you have a calcified nodule and are having a non-emergency procedure to open a blocked artery, this study may help guide which method works best.
Alicante, AlicanteAges 18 years+ - NCT06788275Recruiting
Can exercise improve blood vessel health after a heart attack?
This study looks at whether aerobic exercise can improve blood vessel health in people who have had a heart attack or chest pain (angina). If you qualify, you'll join a monitored exercise program.
Alicante, AlicanteAges 45–75 - NCT06821191RecruitingPhase 4
Safer blood thinner plan after heart stent
This trial is testing whether lowering the dose of your current blood thinner or switching to a different one (clopidogrel) is safer and works just as well after you've had a stent placed. It's designed for people who are already on two blood thinners and are doing well.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 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+ - NCT06855537RecruitingPhase 4
Stent for vulnerable plaques in heart patients
This trial tests whether implanting stents in non-obstructive, high-risk plaques (thin-capped fatty plaques) can prevent future heart attacks. It is for people who have already had treatment for a recent heart attack or unstable angina and have additional plaques that are not severely blocking blood flow but are vulnerable.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - 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 - NCT06890312Recruiting
Timing of blood thinner during heart catheterization
This study looks at the best time to give a standard blood thinner (heparin) during a heart procedure called angioplasty, which opens blocked heart arteries through a wrist artery. It may help reduce bleeding or clotting risks.
Strasbourg, Bas-RhinAges 18 years+ - NCT06898021Recruiting
3D stent study for heart artery blockages
This trial tests a new way of placing stents in heart arteries using a special ultrasound guidance. It may be a good option if you have a heart condition needing a stent and the area to be stented is not too long.
AalstAges 18 years+ - NCT06910436Recruiting
AI timing and outcomes in heart attack study
This trial uses artificial intelligence to analyze ECG results and timing in patients with a type of heart attack called Non-STEMI (where the artery is narrowed but not fully blocked). The goal is to see if AI can help predict damage and outcomes, which could lead to better care.
Bolzano, BZAges 18 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 - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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.
