Heart medication during stent placement to improve blood flow
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving a drug called nicorandil directly into the heart artery just before placing a stent can help keep blood flow normal and reduce complications after the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 19 years or older.
- You are scheduled to have a stent placed in a heart artery using a special imaging test called NIRS-IVUS.
- The imaging shows a certain level of fatty buildup in the narrowed artery.
- You do not have any allergies to the medications or materials used in the procedure.
- You are not pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
- You do not plan to have surgery within 6 months that would require stopping blood-thinner medications.

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 Phase 4 study tests a way to measure blood flow in heart arteries to help doctors choose the best stent plan. It may help improve safety and effectiveness for people having elective heart stent procedures for stable angina or certain heart attacks.
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.
This study tests whether using a tiny pressure sensor in heart arteries during a procedure can better guide where to place a stent. It may help doctors choose the safest and most effective stent plan by more accurately measuring artery narrowing.
This study compares two ways of guiding a heart stent procedure: using information from a special angiography scan versus using standard practice. It may help your care team choose the best treatment to improve heart outcomes after stenting.
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.
