Robotic procedure for opening blocked heart arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a robotic system to help doctors perform a procedure (PCI/angioplasty) to open blocked heart arteries. You may be eligible if you need this procedure and your anatomy is suitable, and if you can give informed consent.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 or older.
- You have coronary artery disease and your doctor recommends PCI (a heart artery opening procedure).
- Your heart and artery shape must be suitable for a robotic-assisted PCI (your study doctor decides).
- You can understand the study and agree to it, including signing written consent.
- You are not having a STEMI (a specific type of heart attack) at the time of the procedure.
- You are not in cardiogenic shock (a dangerous condition where the heart can’t pump enough blood).

This study compares two ways of deciding how completely to open blocked heart arteries using drug-eluting stents. It aims to see which guidance approach improves results and safety for people with coronary artery disease who need a PCI (heart catheter procedure).
This trial is testing a new robot-assisted system for placing stents in blocked heart arteries. The robot may help the doctor be more precise, and you will be followed for 30 days after the procedure.
This study tests a robotic system that helps doctors perform heart stent procedures. It aims to see if the robot is safe and effective compared to standard care. Participating may give you access to this new technology.
This trial tests whether a doctor can use a robot to place a heart stent while being in a different location. It is designed for people who need a stent to open a blocked heart artery.
This trial compares a less invasive robot-assisted heart bypass plus stenting against standard heart bypass surgery. It is for people with multiple blocked heart arteries who have extra risk factors that make regular surgery more dangerous.
This trial compares different ways to treat serious heart artery blockages in people with a recent heart attack or unstable chest pain. It aims to see which revascularization approach works best when doctors think the heart arteries can be fully treated.
