- NCT06718179RecruitingPhase 4
Short vs. 12-month prasugrel and aspirin after a heart attack with a stent
This trial compares taking a shorter course of prasugrel (a blood thinner) plus aspirin after a heart attack versus the standard 12-month course. It aims to see if a shorter duration is just as effective and safer for people who got a specific type of stent (everolimus-eluting).
AalborgAges 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+ - NCT06878729Recruiting
Comparing two ways to open a blocked heart artery
This trial tests two procedures—antegrade dissection/re-entry and the retrograde method—to treat a completely blocked artery. It compares which technique works better for patients with complex blockages.
Warsaw, WarsawAges 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+ - 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+ - NCT06917378Recruiting
Study on blocked heart arteries over 3 months
This trial tests a procedure for people with a completely blocked heart artery that has been present for at least 3 months. It aims to see if opening the blockage can improve blood flow and heart function.
New Taipei CityAges 20–120 - NCT07025148RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two blood thinners after stenting for high-risk patients
This trial tests switching from a standard blood thinner (clopidogrel) to a lower dose of a stronger one (prasugrel) in people who have had a stent placed and are at high risk for both bleeding and heart problems. The goal is to see if the switch better prevents clots while keeping bleeding risks low.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07034157Recruiting
Ultrasound screening and treatment for artery disease
This study tests if using ultrasound to screen for blocked neck and head arteries can improve treatment plans for people getting heart artery stents. It aims to find hidden blockages and tailor therapy to reduce stroke and other risks.
BeijingAges 18 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 - 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+ - NCT07303439Recruiting
Comparing heart artery treatments in people with diabetes
This study compares using a special medicated balloon plus a medicated stent versus using just one of them to open blocked heart arteries in people with diabetes. It aims to find which treatment works better to keep arteries open longer.
Dublin, County DublinAges 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+ - 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+ - NCT07330622Recruiting
Register of heart artery reopening procedures
This registry tracks people who get a procedure to open a completely blocked heart artery (called a chronic total occlusion). It helps doctors learn more about these procedures and how to improve them.
BialystokAges 18 years+ - NCT07378137Recruiting
Patient and doctor views on heart treatment outcomes after stenting
This study compares how patients and doctors think about the benefits of heart treatments after a stent procedure. It involves filling out a questionnaire to share your preferences.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18 years+ - NCT07378163Recruiting
Patient and doctor preferences for stent devices
This trial asks patients who have had a stent placed for heart artery disease and their doctors what they prefer in a stent. It aims to understand what factors matter most when choosing a device.
Xi'an, ShannxiAges 18 years+ - NCT01366404Recruiting
FFR-guided heart procedure study for coronary artery narrowing
This study follows people who have narrowed heart arteries and have a pressure test (FFR) to guide treatment. It may help doctors understand the course of disease when using FFR and choosing a minimally invasive approach.
AnyangAges 35 years+ - NCT02762162Recruiting
Registry of heart artery patients’ platelet test results
This registry collects information from people with coronary (heart) artery disease who already had platelet-related blood tests as part of usual care. The goal is to better understand how platelet responses relate to treatment and outcomes, which may help future care.
