Comparing two drug-coated balloons for heart artery treatment
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial is comparing sirolimus and paclitaxel drug-coated balloons to treat new blockages or restenosis (re-blockage) in heart arteries. It aims to see which type of balloon works better for opening arteries without leaving a metal stent behind.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a new blockage or a re-blockage inside a previous stent in your heart arteries.
- You are able to have a balloon treatment for your heart artery blockage.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new balloon coated with sirolimus (a drug that helps prevent re-blockage) for treating blocked arteries at branch points (bifurcations) in the heart. If you have a blocked artery at a branch point, this study may offer a way to treat the side branch without placing a stent there.
This study tests a special balloon coated with a medicine (biolimus) to treat newly formed blockages in the heart's arteries. The balloon is used during a procedure to open the artery and may help keep it open longer.
This study is testing a special balloon that releases a drug (sirolimus) to treat fatty plaques in heart arteries that are not yet blocking blood flow. The hope is that this treatment can stabilize or even shrink these plaques, reducing future risk of heart attacks. If you have recently had a heart attack and have other non-obstructive plaques, this trial might offer a new approach.
This trial is testing a special balloon coated with medication to treat newly formed blockages in the heart's arteries. The medication may help keep the artery open after the balloon opens it during a standard procedure.
This study compares two kinds of drug-coated balloons used during angioplasty to open narrowed heart arteries in people with acute coronary syndrome. Both balloons slowly release medicine to help keep the artery open, and the trial aims to see if one works better than the other.
This trial is studying a special balloon coated with a drug that helps keep heart arteries open after they are cleared. It might be an option for people with narrowed heart arteries who need a less invasive treatment.
