Balloon treatment for blocked heart arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests how the way a drug-coated balloon is used during a heart procedure affects outcomes for people with stable heart disease or unstable angina. It may help doctors find the best technique to keep arteries open.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have stable coronary artery disease or unstable angina.
- You have a newly blocked artery that can be treated with a drug-coated balloon.
- You are willing to have the balloon procedure and give written consent.
- You are not having a heart attack within the last 72 hours, severe heart failure, or severe liver/kidney problems.
- You are not allergic to balloon components or antiplatelet drugs, and can take them.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you expect to live at least a year.
- You are not in another clinical trial and do not have a previously placed stent that is re-blocked.

This trial studies a balloon treatment coated with medicine (to help keep the artery open) for people with coronary artery disease. You may be a candidate if you are planned to receive this type of procedure and do not have certain key safety risks.
This study looks at how well a drug-coated balloon opens blocked heart arteries without leaving a permanent stent. It may help people who had a successful balloon procedure and want to avoid stents.
This study looks at how well a drug-coated balloon (a balloon with medicine that opens blocked heart arteries) works, either alone or with a stent, to treat coronary artery disease. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective over time.
This trial tests a special balloon that releases medicine to open blocked heart arteries. It may help people with chest pain or silent ischemia by keeping arteries open longer.
This study tracks outcomes in adults who receive a special balloon catheter (coated with medication) to open blocked heart arteries. Researchers collect data to understand how well this treatment works and any side effects that occur.
This study looks at how well drug-coated balloons work in real life for people with coronary artery disease. These balloons deliver medicine to open blocked heart arteries, and this trial aims to see how they perform in different patients.
