Stent for sudden heart artery tears
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a special covered stent (a small mesh tube) for treating sudden tears in heart arteries or bypass grafts. If you have a perforation in a vessel of a certain size, this stent may help seal it and stop bleeding.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a sudden tear (perforation) in a blood vessel of your heart or a bypass graft that is 2.5 to 5.0 mm wide.
- You can safely take blood-thinning medicines (antiplatelet drugs or anticoagulants).
- You are not allergic to any materials in the stent, such as silicon carbide, polyurethane, or cobalt chromium alloy (including tungsten and nickel).
- The tear can be reached and treated with a stent.
- You do not have an untreated bleeding disorder.

This study looks at a new way to place stents in blocked heart arteries that are at a branching point. It aims to improve blood flow and reduce the risk of the blockage coming back, compared to standard methods.
This trial tests a new stent (a small mesh tube) to open narrowed heart arteries and improve blood flow. It may help people with multiple blocked arteries who are having a procedure to widen them.
This study compares two types of devices used to open blocked heart arteries during a heart attack or unstable chest pain: one is a scaffold made of magnesium that dissolves over time, the other is a permanent stent with a coating that releases medicine. The goal is to see which device works better for patients like you.
This trial tests a stent that slowly dissolves after opening a blocked heart artery, releasing a drug to prevent reclogging. It may help people with narrowing in one or two spots that are not too hard or twisted.
This trial is testing a new type of stent (a small tube that props open a narrowed heart artery) coated with a medicine called everolimus to keep the artery open. The study wants to see if the stent is safe and works well for people with coronary artery disease, which is narrowing of the heart's blood vessels.
This study tests a new type of stent (a small mesh tube that opens a blocked heart artery) designed to reduce bleeding risks in people who are more likely to bleed. If you are having a coronary angioplasty and are at high risk of bleeding, this might be a good option to discuss with your doctor.
