Stent study for blocked heart arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have at least two blocked heart arteries that are narrow enough to need a stent.
- The narrowed areas are between about 2.5 and 3.5 mm wide and not longer than 36 mm.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have not had a heart attack in the last 72 hours.
- You do not have very weak heart pumping or severe heart failure.
- You are not allergic to common blood thinners or the metals in the stent.
- You have not had previous heart stents or bypass surgery.
- You do not have severe kidney problems or a bleeding disorder.
- You do not have other serious health conditions that might shorten your life to less than a year.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 new type of stent (a small mesh tube) that slowly releases a medicine called sirolimus to keep your heart artery open after angioplasty. It is designed for people with narrowing in their heart arteries who need a stent.
This study looks at patients who received a special type of heart stent (a small mesh tube that holds open a blocked artery) during a procedure called angioplasty at Geneva University Hospitals. The goal is to see how safe and effective this stent is in everyday practice.
This trial tests a new stent (a small mesh tube placed in your heart artery to keep it open) called MiStent II. The stent slowly releases a medicine to help prevent the artery from narrowing again. If you have coronary artery disease and need a stent, this study may help improve your treatment.
