Nasal spray medication for heart protection during stent placement
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if a calming medicine given as a nasal spray before a heart stent procedure can prevent heart muscle damage. It's for people with coronary artery disease who are scheduled for a planned stent procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a nasal spray sedative (dexmedetomidine) given before surgery to see if it's safe when there's less monitoring. It may help people who need general, spinal, or nerve block anesthesia feel calm and comfortable.
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.
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 giving a single dose of dexmedetomidine (a medicine that helps calm the body's stress response) before surgery can reduce the stress on your heart and blood pressure when a breathing tube is placed. It may help you recover more smoothly.
This trial tests adding a sedative medicine called dexmedetomidine to standard anesthesia for children aged 3 to 12 who are having a procedure to close a hole in their heart (atrial septal defect). The goal is to see if it helps them recover more smoothly.
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.
