Medicine-coated balloon for small narrowed heart arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a special balloon coated with a medicine (biolimus) to open narrowed small heart arteries without leaving a permanent stent. It might help reduce the risk of the artery narrowing again.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Have a narrowed heart artery that is small (about 2 to 2.75 mm wide)
- After a brief balloon opening, the narrowing is reduced to 30% or less and no major tears occur
- Be willing to sign a consent form and attend follow-up visits
- Must not have severe heart failure, cardiogenic shock, or severe valve disease
- Must not be pregnant, breastfeeding, or allergic to the study drug or contrast dye

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 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 study tests a drug-coated balloon (DCB) that releases two medicines (sirolimus and paclitaxel) to open blocked small heart arteries. It may help people with stable chest pain or recent, controlled heart events who have a narrowed small vessel.
This trial tests a special balloon that releases medicine to open blocked heart arteries. It may help people with chest pain or silent ischemia by keeping arteries open longer.
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.
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.
