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 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.
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 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 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.
