Drug-coated balloon for coronary artery disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies a balloon treatment coated with medicine (to help keep the artery open) for people with coronary artery disease. You may be a candidate if you are planned to receive this type of procedure and do not have certain key safety risks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your cardiologist says you are a good candidate for a drug-coated balloon (DCB) procedure
- You are not pregnant and will not be pregnant during the study
- You do not have known allergies or contraindications to the contrast dye used for imaging
- You can safely take antiplatelet medicines (blood-thinning medicines used to prevent clotting)
- You should not have contraindications to paclitaxel (the medicine used on the balloon)

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 study tracks outcomes in adults who receive a special balloon catheter (coated with medication) to open blocked heart arteries. Researchers collect data to understand how well this treatment works and any side effects that occur.
This trial tests a drug-coated balloon (a balloon with medicine) to open blocked heart arteries in people who also have type 2 diabetes. It may help improve blood flow without permanent stents.
This trial tests a special balloon coated with medicine to open blocked coronary arteries (blood vessels to the heart). The procedure uses ultrasound and imaging guidance to help doctors decide whether to use the drug-coated balloon alone, which may reduce the need for stents and future complications.
This trial is looking at how well a special balloon that releases medicine works to open blocked heart arteries. It may help people who have not had a stent placed in the same spot before.
This study tests a drug-coated balloon (DCB) that releases two medicines (sirolimus and paclitaxel) to open blocked small heart arteries. It may help people with stable chest pain or recent, controlled heart events who have a narrowed small vessel.
