Drug-coated balloon for patients with heart artery disease in multiple vessels
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a drug-coated balloon is a good treatment option for people who have blockages in two or more heart arteries. It aims to see if this approach can safely open blocked arteries without a permanent stent.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 19 years old or older.
- You have narrowing in 2 or more major heart arteries or their main branches that need treatment.
- Your blocked arteries are about 2.5 to 3.0 mm in size.
- You understand the study and agree to take part.
- You do not have any serious health problems that would make this treatment unsafe.

This trial compares two ways to open multiple blocked heart arteries: a special balloon coated with heart-protecting medicine versus a permanent stent (small mesh tube). The trial tests which approach works better for patients with blockages in multiple coronary arteries.
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 compares two treatments for new blockages in heart arteries: a drug-coated balloon (a tiny balloon that delivers medicine) versus a drug-eluting stent (a small mesh tube that releases medicine). The study hopes to see which approach keeps the artery open longer and is safer over time.
This trial tests a special balloon coated with medicine to open blocked coronary arteries (blood vessels to the heart). The procedure uses ultrasound and imaging guidance to help doctors decide whether to use the drug-coated balloon alone, which may reduce the need for stents and future complications.
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 study compares two treatments for new blockages in large heart arteries: a drug-coated balloon (a balloon that releases medicine) versus a drug-coated stent (a small mesh tube). The goal is to see which one better helps the artery stay open and function normally.
