Testing two balloon inflation strategies during a coronary stent
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of inflating the balloon during stent placement to see which helps the stent fit better. It may help people with coronary artery disease who need a single stent and an imaging test called OCT to guide placement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be over 18 years old
- Have coronary artery disease where your clinician says you need one stent in a single spot (one lesion)
- The artery size where the stent goes must be about 2.5–3.5 mm
- Your procedure must include OCT imaging to check whether the stent is placed effectively
- You must be able to understand the study and give informed consent

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.
This trial compares two treatments for new blockages in heart arteries: a drug-coated balloon (a tiny balloon that delivers medicine) versus a drug-eluting stent (a small mesh tube that releases medicine). The study hopes to see which approach keeps the artery open longer and is safer over time.
This trial tests whether a special drug-coated balloon (“MagicTouch”) can treat re-narrowing inside a previously placed stent. It may help patients whose stent has become blocked again, by improving blood flow and reducing repeat narrowing.
This trial tests a special balloon to treat narrowed areas inside a previously placed heart stent. It may help by reopening the artery without adding another stent.
This trial compares two procedures to open completely blocked coronary arteries: a drug-coated balloon or a drug-eluting stent. It may help patients with a single, medium-length blockage in a large enough artery.
This trial studies whether one type of balloon works better than another for treating badly calcified (hardened) coronary artery blockages. If you qualify, you would be randomly assigned to get the tested balloon treatment during your heart procedure.
