Drug-coated balloon treatment for heart artery blockages
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have silent ischemia, chronic coronary syndrome, or acute coronary syndrome.
- You are scheduled to receive a drug-coated balloon angioplasty.
- You do not have a heart attack with ST elevation or cardiogenic shock.
- You are not pregnant, and you can take dual antiplatelet therapy.
- You can attend follow-up visits and have no planned surgery in the next year.

This trial tests whether a drug-coated balloon is a good treatment option for people who have blockages in two or more heart arteries. It aims to see if this approach can safely open blocked arteries without a permanent stent.
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.
This trial tests a special balloon coated with medicine to open blocked coronary arteries (blood vessels to the heart). The procedure uses ultrasound and imaging guidance to help doctors decide whether to use the drug-coated balloon alone, which may reduce the need for stents and future complications.
This trial tests a special balloon coated with a drug (sirolimus) to treat blockages in small heart arteries. If the balloon is successful, it may help keep the artery open without needing a permanent stent.
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 trial is looking at how well a special balloon that releases medicine works to open blocked heart arteries. It may help people who have not had a stent placed in the same spot before.
