Study on blocked heart arteries over 3 months
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a procedure for people with a completely blocked heart artery that has been present for at least 3 months. It aims to see if opening the blockage can improve blood flow and heart function.

Who can take part
- You are older than 20 years.
- You have a fully blocked heart artery that has been blocked for more than 3 months.
- The blockage has been confirmed by a heart catheterization test (angiogram).

This study is a registry that collects information from people who are having a procedure to open a completely blocked heart artery. It helps doctors learn more about these procedures and how to improve care for people like you.
This trial tests if a cardiac rehab exercise program can help patients with a completely blocked heart artery before they get a stent procedure. It aims to see if the program is safe and doable for these patients.
This trial tests whether a drug-coated balloon, used without a permanent stent, can safely open completely blocked heart arteries that have been blocked for at least 3 months. It may offer an option that avoids leaving a metal stent behind.
This study looks at people with a long-standing complete blockage in a heart artery. The goal is to understand risk factors and outcomes, which may help guide future treatments.
This trial studies whether opening a completely blocked heart artery (a CTO) with a procedure and stent helps reduce areas of low blood flow in the heart, compared with the best medicines alone. It uses heart scans to find people likely to benefit and then checks results again at 6 months.
This study is a registry that collects information about people who try to reopen a long-term blocked heart artery. It doesn’t test a new treatment—your doctors use standard care, and the registry helps learn what happens over time.
