Comparing two drug-coated stents for heart attack patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of drug-coated stents (one with sirolimus, one with everolimus) in people who have had a heart attack or unstable angina and need a stent. It aims to see which stent works better for new blockages in the heart arteries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with a heart attack or unstable angina and need a stent procedure.
- The blocked arteries have not been treated before (new blockages) and are suitable for a drug-coated stent.
- You do not have severe low blood pressure (cardiogenic shock).
- You are not allergic to aspirin, blood thinners, or contrast dye.

This study compares two ways to open blocked heart arteries: one uses a balloon coated with medicine, and the other uses a small mesh tube (stent) that releases medicine. The goal is to see which works better for people with chest pain or a recent heart attack.
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 looks at how different types of drug-coated stents work in everyday care for people with blocked heart arteries. It may help doctors choose the best stent type to keep the artery open after treatment.
This trial compares a newer type of stent (with very thin struts and a coating that dissolves) to a standard stent in people having a heart artery procedure. It aims to see if the new stent works as well or better.
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 compares two ways of choosing blood thinners after a heart stent procedure. It aims to see if using an imaging-guided strategy leads to better outcomes than usual care.
