Drug-coated balloon treatment for coronary artery disease guided by QFR
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a special balloon coated with medicine to open blocked heart arteries without leaving a permanent stent. The balloon is used when a new blockage is found and a measurement called QFR shows reduced blood flow. It may help patients with chest pain or heart attack who are not good candidates for stents.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have stable angina, unstable angina, or a recent heart attack.
- A test called QFR shows your blocked artery has reduced blood flow (less than 0.8).
- You are able to take aspirin and clopidogrel (blood thinners) without allergy or intolerance.
- You do not have severe heart failure, severe valve disease, or a recent stroke (within 6 months).
- You do not have a history of stomach ulcers or bleeding, or low blood cell counts.
- You are expected to live more than 1 year and can attend follow-up visits.

This study tests a special balloon coated with medicine that opens up a narrowed stent in the heart artery, helping improve blood flow without adding another stent. It is for people whose previous stent has become narrowed again (in-stent restenosis).
This trial tests how the way a drug-coated balloon is used during a heart procedure affects outcomes for people with stable heart disease or unstable angina. It may help doctors find the best technique to keep arteries open.
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 trial is studying a special balloon coated with a drug that helps keep heart arteries open after they are cleared. It might be an option for people with narrowed heart arteries who need a less invasive treatment.
This study looks at how well drug-coated balloons work in real life for people with coronary artery disease. These balloons deliver medicine to open blocked heart arteries, and this trial aims to see how they perform in different patients.
This trial studies whether a drug-coated balloon can treat certain coronary artery narrowings in adults with chronic (long-term) coronary disease. It may help prevent re-narrowing after the procedure for people whose tests show the blockage is significant and needs treatment.
