Heart stent before or after your planned surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares getting a heart stent before versus after a non-emergency surgery for people with both heart disease and a planned operation. It aims to find the safest and most effective timing to reduce heart problems while not delaying necessary surgery too much.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 80 years old
- You have coronary artery disease that needs a stent or angioplasty, but not as an emergency
- You have a non-heart surgery planned soon (for example, in the chest, belly, or female organs) that is not an emergency
- You do not have severe bleeding risk from the planned surgery, kidney failure, liver failure, or other life-threatening conditions
- If you have cancer, you must be in good enough health to consider delaying cancer surgery for about 3 months if you get the stent first

This trial compares two ways to restore blood flow to the heart—bypass surgery (CABG) or stents (PCI)—in people whose heart pumps weakly (LVEF 40% or less). It aims to find which method works better for chest pain or recent heart issues.
This study checks how severely blocked a coronary artery is using measurements taken during a planned heart catheterization, to help guide whether and how to do a stent (PCI). It may help doctors choose the best treatment plan for people with about 70% or more narrowing.
This trial looks at whether doing carotid artery stenting at the same time as heart surgery is safe and effective for people at high risk of stroke around the time of surgery. It targets people with significant carotid narrowing who also need heart surgery for specific heart problems.
This study compares two common procedures to improve blood flow to the heart in women with blockages in multiple heart arteries. It aims to find which approach works better for women and may help guide future treatment decisions.
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 study compares two ways to improve blood flow in people with weakened heart pumping (ischemic cardiomyopathy): bypass surgery (CABG) versus stent treatment (PCI). It aims to see which approach works better when the heart still has enough at-risk muscle and when best medical therapy is already started.
