Balloon treatment test for narrowed stents in heart arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special drug-coated balloon (“MagicTouch”) can treat re-narrowing inside a previously placed stent. It may help patients whose stent has become blocked again, by improving blood flow and reducing repeat narrowing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- A heart doctor thinks you need a PCI procedure because of suspected in-stent restenosis
- The problem is re-narrowing inside a drug-eluting stent in a natural (not bypass) coronary artery
- Before randomization, the doctor can prepare the lesion so remaining narrowing is under 30% and there are no major complications
- Your stent re-narrowing looks moderate to severe (about 50%–less than 100%), or pressure/flow tests show it’s causing reduced blood flow
- You can take two blood-thinner medicines (DAPT) for at least 1 month unless your doctor says otherwise

This study tests a balloon coated with a drug that may help keep arteries open after they've been cleared, especially for people with a narrowing inside a previously placed stent or in a small heart artery. It's a first-time-in-humans study to check if the treatment is safe and works.
This trial tests a special balloon coated with a drug (sirolimus) to treat blockages in small heart arteries. If the balloon is successful, it may help keep the artery open without needing a permanent stent.
This trial tests a special balloon to treat narrowed areas inside a previously placed heart stent. It may help by reopening the artery without adding another stent.
This study looks at how to treat blocked heart arteries that have narrowed again after a prior drug-eluting stent. It compares using another drug-eluting stent versus a drug-coated balloon, chosen based on an imaging scan inside the artery (OCT), to reduce repeat narrowing.
This study compares two ways to treat a heart stent that has narrowed again after already being treated with a drug-coated stent. One method uses a laser to open the blockage, and the other uses a balloon. If you've had this problem, the study aims to see which approach works better for keeping the vessel open.
This study looks at people who have had a stent in their artery that narrowed again and were treated with a special medication-coated balloon. The goal is to see how well this treatment works over time in real-life patients.
