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.

This study compares two types of devices used to open blocked heart arteries during a heart attack or unstable chest pain: one is a scaffold made of magnesium that dissolves over time, the other is a permanent stent with a coating that releases medicine. The goal is to see which device works better for patients like you.
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 open blocked heart arteries: one uses a balloon coated with medicine, and the other uses a small mesh tube (stent) that releases medicine. The goal is to see which works better for people with chest pain or a recent heart attack.
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 compares two approaches for treating chronic coronary syndrome (reduced blood flow to the heart causing chest pain). One approach combines a stent procedure with optimal medication, while the other uses only medications. The goal is to see which approach better prevents major heart problems over time.
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.
