Recruiting studies
- 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - NCT06854302Enrolling by invitation
Studying chest pain after successful heart stent procedure
This study looks at why some people still have chest pain (angina) even after a successful heart stent procedure (PCI). You will have a heart MRI (stress CMR) before the stent procedure, and doctors will measure blood flow in your heart arteries during and after the procedure.
Cambridge, CambridgeshireAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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 - NCT04634240Recruiting
Staged heart bypass plus TAVR versus TAVR alone
This study compares doing a staged coronary bypass (revascularization) along with a valve procedure (TAVR) versus doing TAVR and medical treatment alone. It aims to see which approach better helps people with both aortic valve narrowing and coronary artery disease.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT04049591Recruiting
Higher vs lower heparin dose during planned heart stent procedure
This trial compares a higher versus lower dose of heparin (a blood thinner) during a planned PCI, which is a heart procedure to open blocked arteries using a stent. It may help hospitals and patients know which dosing approach is safest and works well during the procedure.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 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+ - NCT06558474Recruiting
Optimizing angioplasty with balloon expansion after stent placement
This trial looks at a technique called post-dilatation, where a balloon is used after placing a stent to make sure it's fully open. It may help people who are having angioplasty (a procedure to open blocked heart arteries). Doctors want to see if using this step more often leads to better results.
Eindhoven, North BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT06654453Recruiting
Blood clot removal during heart attack treatment
This trial tests whether removing the blood clot from the heart artery during a stent procedure can improve outcomes for people having a heart attack. If you fit the criteria, you may be randomly assigned to receive this extra clot-removal step or the standard stent procedure alone.
Changsha, HunanAges Any age - NCT05853419Recruiting
Robotic procedure for opening blocked heart arteries
This study tests a robotic system to help doctors perform a procedure (PCI/angioplasty) to open blocked heart arteries. You may be eligible if you need this procedure and your anatomy is suitable, and if you can give informed consent.
AntwerpAges 18–120 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06506448Recruiting
Studying non-blocked arteries after a heart attack
This study looks at arteries in the heart that aren't the one that caused the heart attack. It uses a special CT scan to understand these arteries better in people who have already had a procedure to open the blocked artery.
Bournemouth, DorsetAges 18–85 - NCT06399692RecruitingPhase 3
Choosing heart bypass or stents for women with heart disease
This study compares two common procedures to improve blood flow to the heart in women with blockages in multiple heart arteries. It aims to find which approach works better for women and may help guide future treatment decisions.
Glendale, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06353594Recruiting
Fewer stents vs usual stents for STEMI heart attack
This study compares using fewer stents versus the usual number of stents during emergency angioplasty for a severe heart attack (STEMI). It aims to see if a less-is-more approach is safe and effective.
Huelva, HuelvaAges 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.
