Angioplasty balloon with imaging guidance for large heart artery blockages
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests using a drug-coated balloon to open a single large heart artery blockage, with special imaging to guide the procedure. It may help avoid a permanent stent.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a blockage in one large heart artery that needs treatment.
- The blockage is in a vessel that is 2.75 to 4.00 mm wide and shorter than 40 mm.
- You are between 19 and 80 years old.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You are willing to attend follow-up visits for at least one year.

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 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 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 compares two treatments for new blockages in large heart arteries: a drug-coated balloon (a balloon that releases medicine) versus a drug-coated stent (a small mesh tube). The goal is to see which one better helps the artery stay open and function normally.
This trial compares two ways to open a blocked artery that splits into two branches (a bifurcation): using a balloon coated with medicine (drug-coated balloon, or DCB) versus a drug-eluting stent (DES). The goal is to see which approach works better for patients with this type of blockage.
This trial tests a special balloon coated with a drug (sirolimus) to treat blockages in small heart arteries. If the balloon is successful, it may help keep the artery open without needing a permanent stent.
