Laser treatment for blocked heart arteries registry
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study collects information from patients with blocked heart arteries who receive a special laser treatment (ELCA) to open the blockage. It will help doctors understand how well this laser works in different situations.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You have blocked arteries in your heart that doctors think might need a laser to open
- You are willing to be part of this registry to share your data
- You must be able to take blood thinners like clopidogrel, prasugrel, or ticagrelor
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding

This trial tests a new laser device to safely remove plaque from blocked heart arteries. It is for people who need a procedure called PCI (angioplasty or stent) but have a tough blockage that standard tools cannot easily cross or open.
This study compares two different ways to reopen a stent that has become blocked again after being placed in a heart artery. The two methods are laser-assisted angioplasty (using a special laser to clear the blockage) and balloon-based treatment (using a balloon to push the blockage open).
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 study looks at real-world outcomes for people with narrowed heart arteries (coronary artery disease). It may include those treated with stents (PCI) or medicines. Doctors will use a special computer tool to measure the severity of blockages and track health over time.
This study follows adults with blocked heart arteries who are treated using a special type of balloon (drug-coated balloon) during a procedure. It aims to track real-world outcomes to better understand how well this treatment works for people with new blockages or previously treated vessel narrowing.
This trial compares different ways to treat serious heart artery blockages in people with a recent heart attack or unstable chest pain. It aims to see which revascularization approach works best when doctors think the heart arteries can be fully treated.
