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.

This trial is studying a special balloon coated with a drug that helps keep heart arteries open after they are cleared. It might be an option for people with narrowed heart arteries who need a less invasive treatment.
This study tests whether a drug-coated balloon (a balloon that releases medicine to prevent reblockage) is safe and effective for treating heart attacks caused by plaque erosion, where the artery is narrowed but not fully torn. It may help reduce the need for permanent stents.
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 study compares two kinds of drug-coated balloons used during angioplasty to open narrowed heart arteries in people with acute coronary syndrome. Both balloons slowly release medicine to help keep the artery open, and the trial aims to see if one works better than the other.
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.
