Milk supplement to keep stented arteries open after a heart attack
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special milk-based drink, taken daily for a year, can help prevent the artery from narrowing again after you've had a stent placed following a heart attack. If you're recently had a stent put in, this might help keep your artery open and reduce the need for another procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You had a first heart attack (STEMI) and got a stent (a small mesh tube) placed in a heart artery within the last 4 weeks.
- You have not had a prior heart attack or any previous heart stent or bypass surgery.
- You are not in severe heart failure or cardiogenic shock (a condition where the heart can't pump enough blood).

This trial studies how well long-term cholesterol-lowering treatment works in people who recently had a heart attack (STEMI or NSTEMI). It may help your care team understand which patients benefit most and how treatment should be continued safely.
This study tests whether giving a drug called nicorandil directly into the heart artery just before placing a stent can help keep blood flow normal and reduce complications after the procedure.
This trial looks at whether stronger cholesterol-lowering medicine can reduce the risk of future heart problems in people who already have a stent. It focuses on people who still have other mildly narrowed spots in their arteries.
This trial is looking at whether a blood test can help doctors choose the best treatment for people with heart disease who are getting stents. It may help make treatment more personal and effective.
This trial tests whether taking a special supplement (called a synbiotic) can improve your gut health after a recent heart attack. It may help your recovery by supporting your body's natural healing.
This trial tests whether a medication called ranolazine can help prevent damage to tiny blood vessels in the heart after a certain type of heart attack (STEMI). You may be eligible if you recently had this kind of heart attack and had a successful procedure to open a blocked artery, but still have other blockages that can be treated with stents.
