Nasal sedative to protect the heart during angioplasty
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a sedative given as a nasal spray before a heart procedure (angioplasty) can reduce heart damage. It may help people with heart disease who are having this procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You have coronary artery disease (narrowing of heart arteries) and are scheduled for a non-emergency angioplasty (a procedure to open blocked arteries).
- You have mild to severe, but stable, other health conditions (like diabetes or high blood pressure) that are managed.
- You are not taking certain medicines (like clonidine or tricyclic antidepressants) within a week of the procedure.
- You do not have severe heart problems (like very weak heart pumping), uncontrolled high or low blood pressure, sleep apnea, or severe liver or kidney issues.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This study tests whether a sedative given as a nasal spray (called dexmedetomidine) can help protect your heart during a planned procedure to open blocked heart arteries. If you are having this procedure, the medication may reduce the risk of heart damage afterward.
This trial tests a nasal spray that helps you feel calm and relaxed before anesthesia for your surgery. It may be an option for people having general anesthesia or other types of anesthesia, and the study checks if it is safe and works well.
This trial tests whether a nasal spray with a calming medicine (dexmedetomidine) can reduce anxiety before brain surgery. It is given before the operation to help you feel more relaxed and calm.
This study looks at how a sleep medicine called dexmedetomidine affects thinking and memory after heart surgery. It compares cognitive outcomes over time to see if this sedation choice changes long-term brain function.
This trial tests whether a drug called dexmedetomidine, given during general anesthesia, helps keep your heart rate and blood pressure stable during outpatient surgery. It may be an option if you are having a minor surgery and are not on certain heart medications.
This trial tests whether dexmedetomidine or lignocaine better prevents dangerous heart-rate and blood-pressure changes when a breathing tube is placed during heart surgery. If you're having cardiac surgery and are at high risk for heart complications, this study may help protect your heart during the procedure.
