This study tests whether an ultrasound-guided numbing injection in the belly wall can reduce pain during heart procedures like angioplasty or stent placement. It is for people having planned (non-emergency) heart catheterization.
This study tests whether the position you lie in after a heart catheterization through the groin can reduce pain, bleeding, and bruising. If you are scheduled for this procedure and are in generally good health, this trial may help find the most comfortable and safe way to recover.
This study tests whether cooling the heart with a cold liquid during a procedure (angioplasty) can help reduce damage after a heart attack. It may be an option for people who arrive at the hospital quickly after a heart attack.
This study looks at how living or working in cold regions affects heart recovery after a stent procedure. Participants will have heart imaging at the start and again 6 months later to see if cold exposure impacts heart function.
This study tests whether a special type of heart ultrasound can help people recover better after getting a stent for blocked heart arteries. It may be a good fit for people who are having their first stent procedure and do not have other major health issues like diabetes or recent infections.
This study tests a program of exercise before and after a stent procedure for people with peripheral artery disease who have leg pain while walking. The goal is to see if this helps improve walking ability and recovery.
