Erections after heart stent in men with and without heart attack
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how having a stent placed affects men's ability to have erections. It compares men who had a heart attack with those who had stable chest pain. If you take part, you will fill out short questionnaires about your sexual function and recovery for 6 months.

This trial compares two ways to restore blood flow to the heart—bypass surgery (CABG) or stents (PCI)—in people whose heart pumps weakly (LVEF 40% or less). It aims to find which method works better for chest pain or recent heart issues.
This study looks at why some people still have chest pain (angina) even after a successful heart stent procedure (PCI). You will have a heart MRI (stress CMR) before the stent procedure, and doctors will measure blood flow in your heart arteries during and after the procedure.
This study looks at whether opening blocked heart arteries with a stent (a PCI procedure) works better than staying on heart medicines for people with weakened pumping function and certain types of heart failure. It may help patients by testing which approach best improves outcomes over time.
This study tests whether a special type of heart ultrasound can help people recover better after getting a stent for blocked heart arteries. It may be a good fit for people who are having their first stent procedure and do not have other major health issues like diabetes or recent infections.
This trial looks at whether stronger cholesterol-lowering medicine can reduce the risk of future heart problems in people who already have a stent. It focuses on people who still have other mildly narrowed spots in their arteries.
This study compares how patients and doctors think about the benefits of heart treatments after a stent procedure. It involves filling out a questionnaire to share your preferences.
