New stent for children with heart vessel narrowing
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of stent (a small expandable tube) made of bioresorbable material that can dissolve over time. It's designed for young children who need treatment for narrowing in their aorta (main artery leaving the heart) or pulmonary artery (vessel to the lungs).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child must be under 9 years old at the time of the procedure
- Child has hemodynamically significant narrowing (significant enough to affect blood flow) in the aorta or pulmonary artery that needs catheter-based treatment
- The narrowing must be suitable for stent placement based on imaging and the cardiologist's assessment
- Parent or legal guardian must provide written informed consent
- Child's doctor has determined that catheter-based intervention is medically necessary
- Child cannot have had a previous stent placed in the same blood vessel

This trial tests a special stent for babies with a heart defect that needs a temporary blood vessel to stay open. The stent is placed to help blood flow to the lungs until the baby can have a more permanent surgery.
This trial tests a new type of stent made from iron that slowly dissolves in the body. It is designed to treat narrowing of the aorta (CoA) or narrowing that happens after CoA surgery. The goal is to see if the stent is safe and works well over one year.
This trial tests a new type of stent (a small mesh tube) for people with heart disease who need a procedure to open blocked arteries. It aims to see if the stent is safe and works well.
This trial tests a stent that slowly dissolves after opening a blocked heart artery, releasing a drug to prevent reclogging. It may help people with narrowing in one or two spots that are not too hard or twisted.
This study looks at whether placing a small tube (stent) in a branch pulmonary artery can improve blood flow and heart function after specific childhood heart surgeries. It is meant for people who have d-TGA after ASO, or have ToF or TA, and need a branch PA intervention.
This trial tests a new type of stent (BioFreedom Ultra) compared to a standard one (BioFreedom) in people who have a high risk of bleeding. Both stents release medicine to keep arteries open, and the study checks if the newer stent works better with a shorter course of blood thinners.
