CT scan check after drug-coated balloon treatment
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial uses CT scans to see how well a special drug-coated balloon works for opening blocked heart arteries. It may be a good option if you have new blockages that are the right size for this treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 19 years or older.
- You have heart artery disease that needs treatment, found by a CT scan.
- You get the drug-coated balloon treatment within 3 months of that CT scan, and your symptoms haven't changed much.
- Your blockage is new (not from a previous stent) and is the right size (between 2.25 and 3.00 mm).
- Your doctor thinks you're a good candidate for a drug-coated balloon.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and your kidney function is good enough.

This trial tests whether a CT scan of the heart arteries is a safe and effective alternative to standard follow-up tests in people who have had a stent or drug-coated balloon placed in a high-risk coronary artery. It may help reduce the need for additional invasive procedures.
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 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 trial is testing whether a special heart CT scan (coronary CT angiography) can help doctors better understand and treat calcium buildup in your heart arteries. If you have a type of heart disease that might need a stent or other procedure, this study could help decide the best approach.
This trial tests a special balloon coated with medicine to open blocked coronary arteries (blood vessels to the heart). The procedure uses ultrasound and imaging guidance to help doctors decide whether to use the drug-coated balloon alone, which may reduce the need for stents and future complications.
This study uses a special heart CT scan (coronary CT angiography) to look at plaque and how blood flows in people with coronary artery disease. It may help match your scan results with heart measurements and guide future care decisions.
