One stent versus two for gallbladder problems
This trial tests whether using one plastic stent or two is better for people with gallbladder disease who need an ERCP but can't have gallbladder surgery right away. It aims to find which approach works best to keep the bile duct open and prevent complications.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–95 - NCT07083986Enrolling by invitation
Surgery vs stenting for recent stroke patients
This trial compares two procedures to open a blocked carotid artery in people who recently had a stroke. One option is surgery (carotid endarterectomy) to remove the blockage, the other is stenting (placing a small mesh tube to hold the artery open). The goal is to see which works better for patients still having some stroke symptoms.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT06815120Recruiting
New stent study for kidney stone and cancer patients
This trial tests a new type of ureteric stent (a tube that helps drain urine from the kidney) against the standard stent. It is open to patients who have had a stent before and need a new one because of kidney stones or cancer pressing on the ureter.
Southampton, EnglandAges 18–99 - NCT06779110Recruiting
OCT vs. X-ray guidance for treating re-blocked stents
This study compares the standard X-ray guidance (angiography) with a more detailed imaging test (OCT) to guide treatment for a re-blocked stent. It aims to see which method leads to better outcomes for patients with in-stent renarrowing.
Aosta, AostaAges 18–99 - NCT06726928Recruiting
Stent for pulsatile tinnitus from narrowed head vein
This trial tests a special stent (a small mesh tube) placed in a narrowed vein in the head to stop a bothersome whooshing sound in the ear (pulsatile tinnitus) that hasn't gone away.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06727006Recruiting
Rescue stenting and clot-dissolving medicine for severe stroke
This trial tests whether using a stent plus a clot-dissolving drug can improve outcomes for people with a large-vessel stroke who are having a procedure to remove the clot. It is designed for patients who can receive treatment within 24 hours of their first symptoms.
Bergamo, ItalyAges 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+ - NCT06675617Recruiting
Additional stent for type B aortic dissection treatment
This trial tests a new device, called the Allay aortic stent, that is used along with a standard stent graft to treat a type B aortic dissection (a tear in the aorta). The goal is to improve how the aorta heals and reduce complications. It is for people whose dissection extends into the abdomen and are already planned for stent grafting.
SalzburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06669806Recruiting
TIPS Stent Graft for Cirrhosis Complications
This study tests a TIPS stent graft (a tiny mesh tube placed in the liver to relieve pressure) for people with cirrhosis and complications like bleeding or fluid buildup. It aims to see how well it works and if it's safe.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–75 - NCT06671418Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Stenting vs drainage for blocked bile ducts from cancer
This study compares two ways to open blocked bile ducts near the liver due to cancer that cannot be removed. One method uses a stent placed through the skin (percutaneous stenting), and the other uses a tube placed through a scope (endoscopic drainage). The goal is to see which approach works better for relieving jaundice and improving quality of life.
