Testing drug-coated stents in routine heart artery treatment
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial looks at how different types of drug-coated stents work in everyday care for people with blocked heart arteries. It may help doctors choose the best stent type to keep the artery open after treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have coronary artery disease that can be treated with a procedure called PCI
- Your treatment plan has no major limits based on symptoms or the artery blockage
- You have not already had a mix of different drug-coated stents (DES) placed
- You are not expected to live less than 1 year due to another serious illness
- You are not in cardiogenic shock (a life-threatening state where the heart can’t pump enough blood)

This study follows people who need a heart procedure to open narrowed coronary arteries using a drug-coated stent. It aims to see how well these stents work and how people do in everyday clinical practice.
This study looks at how to treat blocked heart arteries that have narrowed again after a prior drug-eluting stent. It compares using another drug-eluting stent versus a drug-coated balloon, chosen based on an imaging scan inside the artery (OCT), to reduce repeat narrowing.
This trial studies a drug-coated balloon (plus standard heart medicines) to treat a specific type of blockage in the heart arteries in people who need an intervention. It may help keep the artery open and prevent the narrowing from coming back, depending on how well you match the detailed heart and medication requirements.
This trial is looking at how well a special balloon that releases medicine works to open blocked heart arteries. It may help people who have not had a stent placed in the same spot before.
This study compares two treatments for new blockages in large heart arteries: a drug-coated balloon (a balloon that releases medicine) versus a drug-coated stent (a small mesh tube). The goal is to see which one better helps the artery stay open and function normally.
This trial compares two types of drug-coated stents (one with sirolimus, one with everolimus) in people who have had a heart attack or unstable angina and need a stent. It aims to see which stent works better for new blockages in the heart arteries.
