Insulin vs. oral diabetes meds after heart attack stent procedure
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares short-term outcomes in people with type 2 diabetes who have a heart attack and receive a stent, depending on whether they were taking insulin or oral diabetes medications before the event. It aims to see if one treatment leads to better recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have type 2 diabetes
- You are having a heart attack treated with a stent (primary PCI)
- You were taking either insulin or oral diabetes pills (not both) before the heart attack

This study measures how your body handles sugar and related hormones in people after a new STEMI heart attack, and compares them with people who do not have diabetes or have prediabetes. The goal is to better understand metabolic changes after the event, which could help future care.
This study compares using a special medicated balloon plus a medicated stent versus using just one of them to open blocked heart arteries in people with diabetes. It aims to find which treatment works better to keep arteries open longer.
This study looks at how insulin resistance affects blood flow after a common heart attack procedure (stenting) in people with type 2 diabetes. It may help doctors understand why some patients have poor blood flow after treatment.
This study compares two ways to restore blood flow to the heart—stent placement (PCI) versus bypass surgery (CABG)—in people with diabetes and significant multi-vessel coronary artery disease. It looks at outcomes using both standard heart tests and additional imaging/functional measurements to guide the best revascularization strategy.
This study tests whether a diabetes medication can improve artery health and heart function after a heart attack. It is for people who have had a STEMI and also have diabetes or a weakened heart pump.
This trial compares two ways to guide heart stent placement in people with diabetes. One method uses a special camera inside the artery (IVI), the other uses standard X-ray pictures. The goal is to see which leads to better outcomes.
