Dissolving stent with drug for blocked heart arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a blocked heart artery that needs a stent.
- The blockage is new, not one that already had a stent.
- The artery is between 2.5 and 4 mm wide, and the blockage is 25 mm or shorter.
- The blockage is not in the main left artery, at the very beginning of a vessel, or in a bypass graft.
- You are 18 to 75 years old, not pregnant, and able to take blood thinners.
- You have not had a stent in the same artery in the past year.

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 tests a new stent (a small mesh tube) to open narrowed heart arteries and improve blood flow. It may help people with multiple blocked arteries who are having a procedure to widen them.
This study compares two types of devices used to open blocked heart arteries during a heart attack or unstable chest pain: one is a scaffold made of magnesium that dissolves over time, the other is a permanent stent with a coating that releases medicine. The goal is to see which device works better for patients like you.
This trial is testing a new type of stent (a small tube that props open a narrowed heart artery) coated with a medicine called everolimus to keep the artery open. The study wants to see if the stent is safe and works well for people with coronary artery disease, which is narrowing of the heart's blood vessels.
This study looks at how to treat blocked heart arteries that have narrowed again after a prior drug-eluting stent. It compares using another drug-eluting stent versus a drug-coated balloon, chosen based on an imaging scan inside the artery (OCT), to reduce repeat narrowing.
This study tests a balloon coated with a drug that may help keep arteries open after they've been cleared, especially for people with a narrowing inside a previously placed stent or in a small heart artery. It's a first-time-in-humans study to check if the treatment is safe and works.
