Injectable Hydrogel to Protect Heart After Heart Attack
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether an injectable gel can protect your heart muscle after a heart attack when it's treated with emergency angioplasty. The gel is placed directly in the damaged area to reduce injury and improve heart function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18–80 years old
- You had your first heart attack in the front wall of your heart (anterior STEMI) within the last 12 hours and are having emergency angioplasty
- Your heart artery (LAD) was completely blocked but is now open after stent placement
- You have not had a previous heart attack, stent, or bypass surgery
- You do not have severe heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease, or serious infections
- You are willing to complete heart imaging scans (CMR) and follow-up visits for several months

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether giving a clot-busting medication before transferring you to advanced heart attack treatment (PCI—a procedure that opens blocked arteries) is better than waiting. It's for patients having a specific type of heart attack (STEMI) when the advanced treatment center is far away.
This trial tests a non-invasive method to improve blood flow in the arm during a heart attack. It may help reduce heart muscle damage before the standard artery-opening procedure.
This trial compares two ways to treat a major heart attack: using a drug-coated balloon or a drug-eluting stent. If you are having a heart attack and need emergency angioplasty, you may qualify if your artery blockages meet specific size limits and you have no bleeding risks or allergies to the medicines used.
This trial tests treatments for small blood vessel damage after a major heart attack (STEMI). If you have had a heart attack and are receiving a stent, this study may help improve recovery by targeting microvascular injury.
This trial tests a balloon pump placed in a heart vein to help the heart recover after a severe heart attack. It is for people who have had an anterior STEMI and need emergency angioplasty.
This study looks at whether “ischemic postconditioning” (briefly changing blood flow right after opening a blocked heart artery) can improve outcomes in people with a specific type of heart attack. It’s meant for patients who get primary PCI (a catheter-based procedure to reopen the artery) soon after symptoms start.
