Biolimus-coated balloon for small artery blockages
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a special balloon coated with the drug biolimus to treat new blockages in small heart arteries. It may help open the artery without leaving a permanent stent.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a new blockage in a small coronary artery (2.0 to 2.75 mm wide).
- After initial treatment, the blockage is reduced to 30% or less with no severe tearing.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have severe heart failure, cardiogenic shock, or severe valve disease.
- You are not allergic to the study drug (biolimus) 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 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 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 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 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.
