Comparing two ways to treat heavily calcified heart arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if a special rotating device alone works as well as a more complex approach for treating heavily calcified blockages in the heart arteries. It uses a CT scan to find the right patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18 or older.
- Have chronic coronary syndrome (stable heart disease).
- Heavily calcified blockage in a heart artery confirmed by a CT scan.
- Medically suitable for bypass surgery, angioplasty, or atherectomy.
- No recent heart attack (within 48 hours), cardiogenic shock, or completely blocked target artery.
- No severe kidney disease (filter rate below 30).

This trial compares two techniques (orbital atherectomy and intravascular lithotripsy) to break up tough calcium deposits in the heart's arteries that can block blood flow. If you have a calcified nodule and are having a non-emergency procedure to open a blocked artery, this study may help guide which method works best.
This study looks at how doctors treat heavily calcified (hardened) heart arteries during a stent procedure. By tracking real-world results, doctors hope to learn better ways to manage these tough blockages and improve outcomes for patients like you.
This trial compares a special device called orbital atherectomy to the usual procedure for treating hardened, calcified blockages that occur where a coronary artery branches. It aims to see which approach works better for patients needing a stent.
This trial compares two medical devices used to prepare severely calcified coronary arteries before stenting. It aims to see if one device works as well as the other, helping patients with hardened arteries receive better treatment.
This study looks at how safe and effective a treatment is for heart artery blockages that are heavily hardened by calcium. It enrolls people who need a procedure to open the artery (with or without a stent) and whose blockage matches specific imaging or access problems.
This trial studies a procedure called orbital atherectomy to treat hardened calcium deposits in heart arteries. It aims to help people with moderately to severely calcified blockages.
