Study of a 48mm drug-coated stent for long coronary artery blockages
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a longer-than-usual drug-coated stent (Orsiro Mission) for treating long blockages in heart arteries. It aims to see if the stent is safe and effective for people with coronary artery disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old
- You have a single long blockage (between 36-44 mm) in a heart artery that can be treated with one stent
- You have symptoms of heart disease like chest pain or shortness of breath
- You are healthy enough for both angioplasty and bypass surgery
- You can take blood-thinning medications (aspirin plus another) as prescribed

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new type of stent made from magnesium that slowly dissolves over time. It is for people who have a long blockage in a heart artery that has not been treated before and may be a good option for those who are stable and have not had a recent heart attack.
This trial studies a drug-coated balloon (plus standard heart medicines) to treat a specific type of blockage in the heart arteries in people who need an intervention. It may help keep the artery open and prevent the narrowing from coming back, depending on how well you match the detailed heart and medication requirements.
This study tests a new kind of coronary stent that slowly releases rapamycin to keep an artery open. You may be invited if you have a small number of specific, treatable blockages and can take the required blood-thinning medicines.
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 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 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.
