Study of drug-coated stents in routine heart procedure care
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have coronary artery disease that can be treated with a minimally invasive heart procedure (PCI)
- Your heart problem isn’t limited by major clinical or lesion factors that would block standard treatment
- Your planned stent treatment will not involve mixing several different drug-coated stent types
- You are not expected to have less than 1 year to live
- You are not currently in cardiogenic shock (a severe, life-threatening state where the heart can’t pump enough)

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 whether a drug-coated balloon is a good treatment option for people who have blockages in two or more heart arteries. It aims to see if this approach can safely open blocked arteries without a permanent stent.
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.
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 looks at people who have had a stent in their artery that narrowed again and were treated with a special medication-coated balloon. The goal is to see how well this treatment works over time in real-life patients.
This study compares how best to place a coronary stent (a small tube to keep an artery open) using modern techniques. It may help improve how safely and effectively stents are delivered in people with certain types of narrowed heart arteries.
