Mercogliano, Italy/AvellinoAges 18 years+ - NCT06399692RecruitingPhase 3
Heart treatment study for women with blocked arteries
This trial is comparing two common heart procedures—bypass surgery (CABG) and stents (PCI)—to see which works better for women with blockages in multiple heart arteries. It aims to find the best treatment for women, who are often underrepresented in heart research.
Glendale, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06399705RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing bypass surgery vs stenting for minority heart patients
This trial compares two common heart procedures—bypass surgery and stenting—for people with multiple blocked arteries. It focuses on minority groups to find out which treatment works best for them. You will be asked to fill out quality-of-life questionnaires for up to 10 years.
Glendale, CaliforniaAges 18 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+ - NCT06420505Recruiting
Study of the Vivo Isar Stent in Routine Care
This trial is testing how well the Vivo ISAR stent works in everyday medical practice for people with different types of heart disease. It is for patients who need a stent for blocked arteries and are willing to receive only the Vivo ISAR stent.
Aix-en-ProvenceAges 18 years+ - NCT06472908RecruitingPhase 3
Colchicine after stent procedure for heart disease
This trial tests whether colchicine (a medicine used for gout) can help prevent heart problems after a stent procedure (PCI). It's for people who are in the hospital getting a stent and follow standard heart care.
Lanzhou, GansuAges 18–80 - NCT06484647Recruiting
Stenting methods for blocked artery forks
This trial compares two techniques for placing stents in the tricky area where a coronary artery splits into two branches (a bifurcation). The goal is to see which method leads to better blood flow and fewer complications for people with blockages there.
Rivoli, TurinAges 18 years+ - NCT06545448Recruiting
Study of planned angioplasty in stable heart disease
This study looks at whether planned angioplasties (a procedure to open blocked heart arteries) are done appropriately for people with long-term stable heart disease. It aims to help doctors make better decisions for patients like you.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06576128Recruiting
Numbing injection for pain relief during heart procedures
This study tests whether an ultrasound-guided numbing injection in the belly wall can reduce pain during heart procedures like angioplasty or stent placement. It is for people having planned (non-emergency) heart catheterization.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT07579169Recruiting
Comparing radiation exposure from two heart procedure access sites
This study compares radiation exposure to doctors performing heart procedures using two different arm access points. It helps determine which approach is safer for medical staff doing these procedures repeatedly.
OsakaAges 20 years+ - NCT07296744Recruiting
Study of a heart pump for high-risk angioplasty
This trial tests a new device called the Supira system to support the heart during a high-risk procedure to open blocked arteries. It is for people who are stable enough to wait for the procedure (not in emergency or shock).
Loma Linda, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT06615609Recruiting
