Coronary support catheter for safer stent placement
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a catheter that helps doctors guide stents and balloons through blocked heart arteries. It may make your procedure easier and safer if you need a stent placed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled to have a heart procedure to open a blocked artery (angioplasty or stenting).
- Your doctor plans to use an extension catheter to help with the procedure.
- You are willing and able to give written consent to participate.
- You do not have a blocked artery smaller than 2 mm, a blood clot in the target artery, or severe health problems that make the procedure unsafe.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a way to treat hardened, calcified heart artery blockages using a stent. It may help people who have moderate blockages that haven't been treated before.
This trial tests a new way of placing stents in heart arteries using a special ultrasound guidance. It may be a good option if you have a heart condition needing a stent and the area to be stented is not too long.
This study tests if using a special CT scan analysis can help doctors plan where to place stents for blocked arteries. It might make the procedure safer and more effective for people who are scheduled for a planned stent procedure.
This study tests a detailed diagnostic procedure during heart catheterization for patients who previously had stents placed and now have chest pain or signs of heart stress. The goal is to better understand blood flow in treated arteries to guide treatment decisions.
This trial tests if using advanced imaging (like OCT or IVUS) to guide placement of a newer type of stent (bioresorbable scaffold) can reduce future stent problems. It is for people with stable coronary artery disease who need a stent in a main heart artery.
This trial tests whether implanting stents in non-obstructive, high-risk plaques (thin-capped fatty plaques) can prevent future heart attacks. It is for people who have already had treatment for a recent heart attack or unstable angina and have additional plaques that are not severely blocking blood flow but are vulnerable.
