A new medicine-releasing stent for blocked heart arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new stent (a small mesh tube placed in your heart artery to keep it open) called MiStent II. The stent slowly releases a medicine to help prevent the artery from narrowing again. If you have coronary artery disease and need a stent, this study may help improve your treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You have heart artery blockages that cause symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath, or silent signs of reduced blood flow to the heart.
- You must be a candidate for a stent procedure (a small mesh tube to open blocked arteries).
- Your blockages must be short (up to 27 mm) and in arteries that are the right size (2.5 to 3.5 mm wide).
- You cannot be having an ongoing severe heart attack or be in cardiogenic shock (very low blood pressure).
- You must not have severe heart failure (ejection fraction less than 30%) or other serious illnesses that limit life expectancy to less than 2 years.

This trial is testing a new type of stent (a small tube that props open a narrowed heart artery) coated with a medicine called everolimus to keep the artery open. The study wants to see if the stent is safe and works well for people with coronary artery disease, which is narrowing of the heart's blood vessels.
This trial tests a new stent (a small mesh tube) to open narrowed heart arteries and improve blood flow. It may help people with multiple blocked arteries who are having a procedure to widen them.
This trial tests a new type of stent made from magnesium that slowly dissolves over time. It is for people who have a long blockage in a heart artery that has not been treated before and may be a good option for those who are stable and have not had a recent heart attack.
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 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 tests a stent that slowly dissolves after opening a blocked heart artery, releasing a drug to prevent reclogging. It may help people with narrowing in one or two spots that are not too hard or twisted.
