Stent placement strategy study for blocked heart arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and can sign a consent form
- You have stable angina or an acute coronary syndrome, plus an additional stable “bystander” artery blockage that may be treated
- Your heart artery narrowing is suitable for direct stent placement, as your treating team decides
- Your planned heart artery spots can be imaged with an OCT (a special camera on a catheter) during the procedure
- Your kidney function is adequate (creatinine clearance above 30 ml/min/1.73 m²)
- You can follow the study instructions and have no allergy to cobalt-chromium

This study looks at how well doctors can treat multiple blocked heart arteries using a specific drug-eluting stent, aiming to fully open them. It may help patients whose blockage pattern fits the study, but it does not include certain high-risk or special cases.
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 checks how severely blocked a coronary artery is using measurements taken during a planned heart catheterization, to help guide whether and how to do a stent (PCI). It may help doctors choose the best treatment plan for people with about 70% or more narrowing.
This study looks at a new way to place stents in blocked heart arteries that are at a branching point. It aims to improve blood flow and reduce the risk of the blockage coming back, compared to standard methods.
This study looks at how to treat blocked heart arteries that have narrowed again after a prior drug-eluting stent. It compares using another drug-eluting stent versus a drug-coated balloon, chosen based on an imaging scan inside the artery (OCT), to reduce repeat narrowing.
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.
