Testing full stent treatment for heart artery blockages
This study looks at how well doctors can treat multiple blocked heart arteries using a specific drug-eluting stent, aiming to fully open them. It may help patients whose blockage pattern fits the study, but it does not include certain high-risk or special cases.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18–85 - NCT05709626RecruitingPhase 4
Testing prasugrel alone after stent placement for heart attack
This study checks whether taking prasugrel by itself, after you get a drug-eluting stent for a heart attack (STEMI), can work as well as the standard approach. It may help prevent blood clots in the stent, but it requires specific blood-thinner plans for 12 months.
Sayama, OsakaAges 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+ - NCT04937699RecruitingPhase 4
Switching anti-platelet tablets after a heart stent
This trial studies whether changing the timing and type of blood-thinner tablets after a heart stent is as safe and effective as continuing the same plan. It may help some people by simplifying treatment while preventing dangerous clotting after a coronary procedure.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT07773870Recruiting
Cold weather exposure and heart healing after stent placement
This study looks at how living or working in cold regions affects heart recovery after a stent procedure. Participants will have heart imaging at the start and again 6 months later to see if cold exposure impacts heart function.
Beijing, Please Select An Option BelowAges 18–80 - NCT07742345Recruiting
Coronary support catheter for safer stent placement
This study tests a catheter that helps doctors guide stents and balloons through blocked heart arteries. It may make your procedure easier and safer if you need a stent placed.
BeijingAges 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+ - NCT07646977Recruiting
Blood Clot Treatment for Heart Attack Recovery
This trial tests a new approach to treating blood clots during a heart attack to prevent damage to the small blood vessels in your heart. You would receive this treatment during an emergency catheterization procedure if you have signs of a major heart attack.
OdenseAges 18 years+ - NCT07539324Recruiting
Drug-coated balloon vs stent for multiple blocked heart arteries
This study compares two treatments for people with blockages in more than one heart artery. One treatment uses a drug-coated balloon to open the artery, and the other uses a drug-releasing stent. The goal is to see which approach is safer and works better.
UlsanAges 20 years+ - NCT07536802RecruitingPhase 4
Adenosine Safety and Benefit in Emergency Heart Attack Treatment
This study tests whether giving a medication called adenosine before emergency heart catheterization (a tube procedure to open blocked arteries) helps patients having a heart attack. Adenosine may protect heart tissue and improve outcomes.
Karachi, SindhAges 18–80 - NCT07436429Recruiting
Drug-coated balloon for heart attack treatment
This trial tests if a special balloon that releases medication can be used instead of a stent during emergency angioplasty for certain heart attacks. It may help patients who are having a first-time heart attack and are stable enough for the procedure.
ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT06101862Recruiting
CT scan vs. angiogram for certain heart attacks
This trial compares two ways to look at heart arteries: a CT scan (noninvasive) versus a traditional angiogram (a tube put into an artery). The goal is to see which is better for people having a certain type of heart attack.
Copenhagen, HellerupAges Any age - 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+ - NCT07004569Recruiting
Angiolite Registry Study for heart artery stents
This study is testing a new type of stent for people with a blockage in the main artery of the heart. It aims to see how well the stent works and if it's safe.
Hong Kong, ShatinAges 19 years+ - NCT06959524Recruiting
Drug-coated balloon for new coronary blockages
This trial is testing a special balloon coated with medication to treat newly formed blockages in the heart's arteries. The medication may help keep the artery open after the balloon opens it during a standard procedure.
Jonesboro, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06186037RecruitingPhase 4
Lower-dose combo vs. higher-dose alone for heart artery disease
This trial compares a lower-dose cholesterol pill (rosuvastatin plus ezetimibe) to a higher-dose version of just rosuvastatin for people with mild to moderate heart artery blockages who have not had a stent or bypass. It aims to see which approach works better and is safer.
Suwon, Gyeonggi-doAges 19 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+ - 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+ - 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.
