Heart stent outcomes in people aged 80 and older
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study reviews the outcomes of heart stent procedures in people aged 80 and older. It looks back at records from 2017 to 2023 to see how well older patients did after treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stent procedure to open a blocked heart artery (called a coronary angioplasty) between 2017 and 2023.
- The procedure was done at Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Trust.
- The treatment was successful (not a 'failed' procedure).
- The blockage was significant enough to limit blood flow (no 'negative pressure wire' results).
- Your medical records had enough information for the researchers to review.

This study follows people with coronary heart disease who get PCI (a procedure to open clogged heart arteries, often with a stent) and looks at their prognosis afterward. It may help researchers understand what affects recovery and outcomes after the procedure.
This study looks at whether information from heart scans taken during stent placement can help predict future heart problems. If you've already had a stent placed under OCT guidance, participating could help improve care for others.
This study collects information from people having a heart procedure called percutaneous coronary intervention, or PCI, to learn more about their outcomes and improve future care.
This study looks at what happens to people after they have a heart attack and receive a stent (a small mesh tube) to open the blocked heart artery. It will track their health over time to better understand the short- and long-term risks of heart and brain events like another heart attack or stroke, so doctors can improve care.
This study looks at how frailty and other health factors affect recovery in people 75 and older who have had a heart attack or unstable chest pain. It may help doctors better understand who is at higher risk and how to improve care for older adults.
This study looks at whether opening blocked heart arteries with a stent (a PCI procedure) works better than staying on heart medicines for people with weakened pumping function and certain types of heart failure. It may help patients by testing which approach best improves outcomes over time.
