Comparing heart artery treatments in people with diabetes
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares using a special medicated balloon plus a medicated stent versus using just one of them to open blocked heart arteries in people with diabetes. It aims to find which treatment works better to keep arteries open longer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have diabetes (any type).
- You have a blocked heart artery that needs a balloon or stent (but not the main left artery).
- You are not having a severe heart attack (called STEMI) right now.
- Your kidneys work well enough (GFR over 30).
- You can take blood thinners (like aspirin and another medicine) for at least 6 months after the procedure.

This study compares a new type of absorbable stent (BRS) to a drug-coated balloon (DCB) for treating fresh blockages in large heart arteries. It aims to see which approach is safer and works better for patients who have not had a previous stent in that artery.
This study compares two ways to restore blood flow to the heart—stent placement (PCI) versus bypass surgery (CABG)—in people with diabetes and significant multi-vessel coronary artery disease. It looks at outcomes using both standard heart tests and additional imaging/functional measurements to guide the best revascularization strategy.
This trial is looking at how well a special balloon that releases medicine works to open blocked heart arteries. It may help people who have not had a stent placed in the same spot before.
This trial compares two treatments for people with complex coronary artery disease who have high-risk conditions or complicated blockages: a drug-coated balloon (DCB) versus a drug-eluting stent (DES). Both are ways to open up narrowed arteries and keep them open without surgery.
This study compares two ways to treat blockages where a heart artery splits into two branches: using special balloons that release medication versus placing stents (small metal tubes). The goal is to find the safest and most effective approach for patients with stable chest pain and proven heart blood-flow problems.
This trial tests whether using a drug-coated balloon with a scaffold is better than using a scaffold alone for people with narrowed or blocked heart arteries. It looks at which method helps the artery stay open longer.
