Tests a drug-coated balloon to stabilize clogged heart arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a drug-coated balloon can better treat new, narrowed spots in multiple coronary arteries and “stabilize” the plaque. It may help improve blood flow after a procedure called balloon angioplasty for selected patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have significant blockage in more than one coronary artery and need a procedure to reopen them
- Your new (de novo) narrowing is in a small-to-medium artery size (about 2.25 to 4.0 mm)
- The narrowed spot can be evaluated with an inside-the-artery imaging test during the procedure
- You must be able to sign a consent form to join the study

This study tests a drug-coated balloon (DCB) that releases two medicines (sirolimus and paclitaxel) to open blocked small heart arteries. It may help people with stable chest pain or recent, controlled heart events who have a narrowed small vessel.
This study looks at how well a drug-coated balloon (a balloon with medicine that opens blocked heart arteries) works, either alone or with a stent, to treat coronary artery disease. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective over time.
This study looks at how well a drug-coated balloon opens blocked heart arteries without leaving a permanent stent. It may help people who had a successful balloon procedure and want to avoid stents.
This trial tests how the way a drug-coated balloon is used during a heart procedure affects outcomes for people with stable heart disease or unstable angina. It may help doctors find the best technique to keep arteries open.
This trial studies a balloon treatment coated with medicine (to help keep the artery open) for people with coronary artery disease. You may be a candidate if you are planned to receive this type of procedure and do not have certain key safety risks.
This trial tests using a drug-coated balloon to open a single large heart artery blockage, with special imaging to guide the procedure. It may help avoid a permanent stent.
