Study of drug-coated balloon treatment for re-narrowed stents
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at people who have had a stent in their artery that narrowed again and were treated with a special medication-coated balloon. The goal is to see how well this treatment works over time in real-life patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You previously had a stent placed in an artery, and it became narrowed or blocked again (this is called 'in-stent restenosis').
- You were treated for that re-narrowing with a special balloon that releases medication to help keep the artery open (called a 'drug-coated balloon' angioplasty).
- You are able to come to follow-up appointments to check how you are doing.
- You do not have any other health issues that would prevent you from having these follow-up checks.

This study looks at how well a drug-coated balloon opens blocked heart arteries without leaving a permanent stent. It may help people who had a successful balloon procedure and want to avoid stents.
This study looks at how well a drug-coated balloon (a balloon with medicine that opens blocked heart arteries) works, either alone or with a stent, to treat coronary artery disease. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective over time.
This study looks at how to treat blocked heart arteries that have narrowed again after a prior drug-eluting stent. It compares using another drug-eluting stent versus a drug-coated balloon, chosen based on an imaging scan inside the artery (OCT), to reduce repeat narrowing.
This trial tests whether a special drug-coated balloon (“MagicTouch”) can treat re-narrowing inside a previously placed stent. It may help patients whose stent has become blocked again, by improving blood flow and reducing repeat narrowing.
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 records outcomes for people who get a drug-coated balloon used to treat a narrowed blood vessel after a first balloon treatment. It may help doctors understand how well this approach works in everyday care and for different patient needs.
