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 trial compares two ways to open blocked heart arteries: a drug-coated balloon (a small balloon that releases medicine) versus a drug-eluting stent (a tiny mesh tube that also releases medicine). It aims to find which option works better for people with relatively simple blockages.
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 study compares two ways to open blocked heart arteries: one uses a balloon coated with medicine, and the other uses a small mesh tube (stent) that releases medicine. The goal is to see which works better for people with chest pain or a recent heart attack.
This trial tests a special balloon that releases medicine to open blocked heart arteries. It may help people with chest pain or silent ischemia by keeping arteries open longer.
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.
