Tests treatment in adults with acute heart symptoms and artery swelling
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies how to treat people who recently had acute coronary symptoms (like a heart attack or unstable angina) and who also have enlarged or swollen coronary artery segments (coronary ectasia or true aneurysm). It may help by testing a specific approach for reducing risks related to these abnormal artery changes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares different ways to treat serious heart artery blockages in people with a recent heart attack or unstable chest pain. It aims to see which revascularization approach works best when doctors think the heart arteries can be fully treated.
This study is collecting information about people with common heart conditions to help doctors learn how to offer better care. If you have had a heart attack, heart failure, or atrial fibrillation, your experience can help improve treatment for others.
This trial tests two different blood-thinner strategies for people who have had a recent heart attack and also have a widened artery (ectasia) in the heart. The goal is to find the safest and most effective way to prevent another heart attack or clot.
This trial tests a special balloon coated with medicine to treat blocked small arteries in the heart. It may help people who have new blockages and are getting a procedure to open those arteries.
This trial studies people who have chest pain (angina) due to problems with the heart’s small arteries, not a big blockage. It aims to test whether treatment approaches can help these patients by better understanding the cause of their heart-related symptoms.
This trial looks at people with a blockage in a heart artery of 50% or more. It tests a new way to check the blockage using a special CT scan. This could help decide the best treatment to prevent future heart problems.
