Stent treatment for completely blocked arteries in heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether opening completely blocked heart arteries with a stent (angioplasty) helps people with heart failure and chest pain or shortness of breath. It aims to see if this procedure improves how well the heart works and reduces symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old.
- You have one or more completely blocked heart arteries that can be treated with a stent.
- Your heart's pumping function is below 50%.
- You have symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath.
- You do not have severe kidney disease or need dialysis.
- You haven't had a heart attack or a heart procedure in the last 30 days.

This trial compares two procedures to open completely blocked coronary arteries: a drug-coated balloon or a drug-eluting stent. It may help patients with a single, medium-length blockage in a large enough artery.
This trial tests two procedures—antegrade dissection/re-entry and the retrograde method—to treat a completely blocked artery. It compares which technique works better for patients with complex blockages.
This study looks at the long-term (10-year) outcomes of a specific stenting technique for patients with a chronic total occlusion (a complete blockage that has been there for at least 3 months) in a major heart artery. It aims to see how well the procedure works over time.
This trial is testing whether a special heart CT scan (coronary CT angiography) can help doctors better understand and treat calcium buildup in your heart arteries. If you have a type of heart disease that might need a stent or other procedure, this study could help decide the best approach.
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 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.
