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 tests a new type of heart stent against a special balloon treatment for people with a large, newly blocked heart artery. The goal is to see which treatment is safer and works better at keeping the artery open.
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 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 trial compares two ways to open blocked heart arteries: a special balloon coated with medicine (drug-coated balloon) versus a small mesh tube (stent) that also releases medicine. It aims to see which is safer and more effective for patients with new blockages.
This study compares two ways to treat blocked heart arteries at a branching point: placing a small metal mesh tube (stent) versus using only a special balloon coated with medicine. The goal is to see which approach keeps the artery open better and is safer for patients.
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.
