Compare two stents after heart attack treatment
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of stents that release medicine to help keep arteries open after an acute coronary syndrome event (often called a heart attack or unstable angina). It tests whether the standard short course of two blood-thinning medicines for one month is enough, and which stent strategy works best.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You can understand the study and agree to participate
- You are not currently pregnant and cannot become pregnant during the study

This study compares ticagrelor taken at a lower dose versus regular aspirin to help prevent future heart attacks in people who recently had a stent placed after acute coronary syndrome. You may qualify if you’re considered “high risk” for new blockages or clots and can take dual anti-platelet therapy for 12 months.
This trial compares two types of small mesh tubes (scaffolds and stents) to open blocked heart arteries. It is for people having a specific kind of heart attack or unstable angina who need a stent.
This trial compares two blood-thinning medicines—clopidogrel and aspirin—after you have finished a short period of dual therapy following a special type of drug-eluting heart stent. It may help find which medicine works better and is safer for preventing future heart problems.
This study compares two ways to treat a narrowed heart artery where a smaller branch vessel is also blocked. One approach uses a drug-coated balloon on the side branch, while the other places a second stent. The goal is to see which method works better for patients like you.
This study follows people who need a coronary (heart) stent to see how they do after treatment. It does not sound like an experimental drug trial for you—it’s mainly about collecting health information after a stent procedure.
This trial compares two ways to treat a major heart attack: using a drug-coated balloon or a drug-eluting stent. If you are having a heart attack and need emergency angioplasty, you may qualify if your artery blockages meet specific size limits and you have no bleeding risks or allergies to the medicines used.
