Suwon, Gyeonggi-doAges 19 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+ - NCT06909565RecruitingPhase 4
Inclisiran to prevent heart and leg events after artery procedure
This study tests whether a twice-yearly injection called inclisiran can prevent heart attacks, strokes, or leg complications in people who recently had a procedure to open a blocked artery. You may be eligible if you had a heart or leg artery procedure within the last two weeks.
Alexander City, AlabamaAges 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06795763Enrolling by invitation
New imaging & catheter system for blocked heart arteries
This trial tests a new imaging and catheter system to treat chronic total blockages in heart arteries. If you still have chest pain or other symptoms despite medical therapy, this study may help open the blockage and improve blood flow.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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+ - NCT06710210Recruiting
Combining two heart treatments for long blocked arteries
This study tests a new way to treat long, narrow blockages in the heart's arteries. It combines a temporary scaffold with a drug-coated balloon, which may help the artery heal without a permanent metal stent. This could be an option for people who need their artery opened but may benefit from a less permanent approach.
Geneva, Canton of GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT06657833Recruiting
Drug Balloon vs Stent for Calcified Nodules After Shockwave
This trial tests whether a drug-coated balloon (a tiny balloon that releases medicine) works as well as a drug-coated stent (a mesh tube) for treating hard calcium deposits in heart arteries. Patients first receive a special shockwave treatment to break up the calcium.
LeidenAges 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+ - 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 - 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+ - NCT05732701Recruiting
Personalized blood thinner plan after stent placement
This trial tests an algorithm (computer-guided plan) to choose the best “dual antiplatelet therapy” (two blood-thinning medicines) after a coronary stent. It aims to improve outcomes after the procedure while reducing avoidable problems from the medicines.
Banja LukaAges 18 years+ - 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.
