A drug-coated balloon for heart artery blockages
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a balloon coated with two drugs to treat narrowed or re-narrowed arteries in the heart. It may help people with chest pain or recent mild heart attacks who need a procedure to open a blockage.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You have chest pain or had a mild heart attack linked to a blocked heart artery.

- The blockage is up to 36 mm long and not completely closed.
- You have not had a stroke in the last 3 months.
- You do not have serious bleeding risks or allergies to the study drugs.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a special balloon coated with medicine to treat plaque erosion, which is a common cause of heart attacks. The balloon delivers the drug directly to the narrowed artery, potentially reducing the need for a stent.
This trial tests how the way a drug-coated balloon is used during a heart procedure affects outcomes for people with stable heart disease or unstable angina. It may help doctors find the best technique to keep arteries open.
This trial is testing a special balloon coated with medication to treat newly formed blockages in the heart's arteries. The medication may help keep the artery open after the balloon opens it during a standard procedure.
This trial studies whether a drug-coated balloon can treat certain coronary artery narrowings in adults with chronic (long-term) coronary disease. It may help prevent re-narrowing after the procedure for people whose tests show the blockage is significant and needs treatment.
This study tests a drug-coated balloon (DCB) that releases two medicines (sirolimus and paclitaxel) to open blocked small heart arteries. It may help people with stable chest pain or recent, controlled heart events who have a narrowed small vessel.
This trial studies a drug-coated balloon (plus standard heart medicines) to treat a specific type of blockage in the heart arteries in people who need an intervention. It may help keep the artery open and prevent the narrowing from coming back, depending on how well you match the detailed heart and medication requirements.
