Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07833995Recruiting
Long-term outcomes after heart attack and stenting
This study looks at what happens to people after they have a heart attack and receive a stent (a small mesh tube) to open the blocked heart artery. It will track their health over time to better understand the short- and long-term risks of heart and brain events like another heart attack or stroke, so doctors can improve care.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT04912518Recruiting
Dexmedetomidine for heart protection after a specific heart attack
This study tests whether dexmedetomidine can protect the heart in people who are having a specific type of heart attack (anterior STEMI) when treated within 6 hours of symptom start. You may be considered if your diagnosis and vital signs fit the study safety rules, and if you can take part in follow-up.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT07687576RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Comparing clot removal methods for heart attack patients
This trial tests if a special device that sucks out blood clots during a heart attack is better than standard care for reducing clot size before placing a stent. It may help patients who have a large clot and a blocked artery.
Oxford, OxfordshireAges 18 years+ - NCT06669520Recruiting
Renalase and blood vessel blockages after heart attack
This study is looking at a protein in the blood (renalase) and how it relates to blockages in tiny blood vessels after a heart attack. Researchers want to see if this protein can help predict recovery, which could lead to better treatments.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT05353140Recruiting
Left atrial appendage device vs blood thinners after stent
This trial compares a heart device that can help prevent blood clots in the heart (called LAAO) versus long-term blood thinners for people who have atrial fibrillation and recently had a stent placed. It aims to see which approach better prevents stroke and related blood-clot problems while keeping side effects manageable.
Xi'an, ShannxiAges 18 years+ - NCT05828719Recruiting
Compare heart stent treatment vs medicines for weak heart function
This study looks at whether opening blocked heart arteries with a stent (a PCI procedure) works better than staying on heart medicines for people with weakened pumping function and certain types of heart failure. It may help patients by testing which approach best improves outcomes over time.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT07297641Recruiting
Imaging-guided vs X-ray-guided PCI for blocked stents
This trial compares two ways to guide a procedure to reopen a stent that has narrowed again: using a special camera inside the artery (IVUS) versus standard X-ray (angiography). It aims to see which approach works better for people who have a drug-eluting stent that is narrowing for the first time.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT07001332Recruiting
Circulatory support for high-risk angioplasty
This study tests a device that helps keep blood moving during a high-risk angioplasty (a procedure to open blocked heart arteries). It may help patients who are not good candidates for standard angioplasty alone.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–88 - NCT06930092Recruiting
Stents to improve heart function in heart failure
This study tests whether opening blocked heart arteries with stents can improve heart function in people with heart failure caused by coronary artery disease. It may be an option if your heart is weak and you have multiple blockages but no recent heart attack or dangerous rhythm.
