Medicine-coated balloon for narrowed kidney arteries
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special balloon coated with medicine can help open narrowed kidney arteries in younger people with high blood pressure. It may help improve blood pressure control and preserve kidney function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 45 years old.
- You have a narrowing of at least 60% in at least one kidney artery.
- You have high blood pressure (top number 140 or higher, or bottom number 90 or higher).
- Your kidney function is not severely reduced (eGFR above 30, and kidney length at least 7 cm).
- You are willing to follow the study plan and give written consent.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares placing a tiny mesh tube (stent) to open the narrowed kidney artery versus continuing blood pressure medicines alone. It is for people whose high blood pressure is hard to control even with multiple medications and who have a blockage in the kidney artery that can be treated.
This trial studies whether placing a small stent in a severely narrowed kidney artery can improve outcomes for people with high-risk, artery-hardening kidney blood-flow problems. It focuses on people whose high blood pressure or kidney function has been getting worse despite multiple medications.
This trial tests whether using a pressure wire to guide treatment of narrowed kidney arteries helps lower blood pressure better than usual care. It may help people with severe high blood pressure caused by kidney artery blockages.
This trial tests whether placing a small metal tube (stent) in a narrowed kidney artery—guided by a pressure measurement called fractional flow reserve—helps lower blood pressure better than a placebo (no stent). It is for people whose blood pressure stays high despite taking multiple medicines.
This study compares two types of stents (a small mesh tube) placed in the kidney artery to open up a narrowed vessel. The goal is to see if a stent with a fabric cover works better than a bare metal stent for improving blood flow and controlling blood pressure.
This trial studies how safe and well several balloon and stent devices work for treating narrowed or blocked arteries in the kidney area or the groin/upper leg. It may help patients who fit the specific artery location and device-use instructions for these treatments.
