Drug-coated balloons for coronary artery disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial is studying how well drug-coated balloons work for people with coronary artery disease. It looks at their use in many different situations, including new blockages, re-narrowed stents, and complex cases. The goal is to see if they are a good option for opening blocked arteries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have coronary artery disease and need a procedure to open a blocked artery (angioplasty).
- Your doctor plans to use a drug-coated balloon for at least one blockage.
- The balloon can be used for different types of blockages like new ones, re-narrowed stents, or complex cases.
- The blockage can be prepared successfully so the balloon can be used.
- You can have follow-up appointments as needed.

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 trial studies a balloon treatment coated with medicine (to help keep the artery open) for people with coronary artery disease. You may be a candidate if you are planned to receive this type of procedure and do not have certain key safety risks.
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 is looking at how well a special balloon that releases medicine works to open blocked heart arteries. It may help people who have not had a stent placed in the same spot before.
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 study tracks outcomes in adults who receive a special balloon catheter (coated with medication) to open blocked heart arteries. Researchers collect data to understand how well this treatment works and any side effects that occur.
