Stent treatment for left main coronary artery disease
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This trial studies a new way to treat blockages in the left main coronary artery using a drug-coated stent. It aims to find out if a careful approach with a single stent and temporary side-branch support works well for people with heart disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have stable coronary artery disease, a mild heart attack (non-ST-elevation), or unstable angina (chest pain at rest).
- A blockage is confirmed in the left main coronary artery (the main artery on the left side of your heart).
- Your heart team has agreed that angioplasty (PCI) is a good option for you.
- You have not had a major heart attack (ST-elevation) within the past week, and you are not in cardiogenic shock.
- You have not had coronary artery bypass surgery before.

This study looks at how well doctors can treat multiple blocked heart arteries using a specific drug-eluting stent, aiming to fully open them. It may help patients whose blockage pattern fits the study, but it does not include certain high-risk or special cases.
This study tests whether using a drug-coated balloon alongside a stent improves outcomes for people with a blockage in the left main coronary artery, the main artery supplying the heart. It compares this approach to standard stenting, aiming to reduce re-blockage risk.
This study compares two ways of treating a severe blockage in the left main heart artery, which is the main pipe bringing blood to the whole heart. One way uses a special medicated stent, and the other uses a two-stent approach or a medication-coated balloon to keep the branch open. The goal is to see which method works better for people with this high-risk condition.
This trial compares two ways of placing a stent at the point where the main left artery splits into two branches. It is for people who have a blockage in the very beginning of one of those branches, and it uses advanced drug-eluting stents to see which method works better.
This trial compares different heart scans to decide how serious a narrowing is in the left main coronary artery. It may help doctors choose the safest and most accurate way to manage that blockage during a heart catheter procedure.
This study is testing a new type of stent for people with a blockage in the main artery of the heart. It aims to see how well the stent works and if it's safe.
