Robot-assisted stent placement for blocked heart arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new robot-assisted system for placing stents in blocked heart arteries. The robot may help the doctor be more precise, and you will be followed for 30 days after the procedure.
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 planned, non-urgent procedure to open a blocked heart artery (called PCI).
- The narrowed area in your heart artery has not been treated before, and the artery is the right size (between 2.5 and 4.0 mm).
- You are willing to have the procedure done with the help of a robot and to attend a follow-up visit 30 days later.
- You do not have severe kidney disease, active bleeding, or a very recent heart attack (within 72 hours).
- If you are a woman who could become pregnant, you must have a negative pregnancy test before the procedure.

This study tests a robotic system that helps doctors perform heart stent procedures. It aims to see if the robot is safe and effective compared to standard care. Participating may give you access to this new technology.
This trial compares a less invasive robot-assisted heart bypass plus stenting against standard heart bypass surgery. It is for people with multiple blocked heart arteries who have extra risk factors that make regular surgery more dangerous.
This study compares how best to place a coronary stent (a small tube to keep an artery open) using modern techniques. It may help improve how safely and effectively stents are delivered in people with certain types of narrowed heart arteries.
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 trial tests whether using computer software to virtually plan stent placement before your heart procedure leads to better outcomes. The goal is to optimize how stents are positioned in your coronary arteries.
This study looks at a new way to place stents in blocked heart arteries that are at a branching point. It aims to improve blood flow and reduce the risk of the blockage coming back, compared to standard methods.
