Balloon treatment for blocked heart arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a special balloon, called Angionix, used to open blocked heart arteries. It aims to see how well it works and if it is safe for people with coronary artery disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 19 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with coronary artery disease (blocked heart arteries).
- Your doctor plans to use a balloon procedure (PTCA) to open the blockage.
- You are willing to join the study and sign a consent form.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have cardiogenic shock (a condition where the heart can't pump enough blood) or a vessel tear already visible on your heart imaging.

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 follows adults with blocked heart arteries who are treated using a special type of balloon (drug-coated balloon) during a procedure. It aims to track real-world outcomes to better understand how well this treatment works for people with new blockages or previously treated vessel narrowing.
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 studies whether one type of balloon works better than another for treating badly calcified (hardened) coronary artery blockages. If you qualify, you would be randomly assigned to get the tested balloon treatment during your heart procedure.
This trial compares two treatments for new blockages in heart arteries: a drug-coated balloon (a tiny balloon that delivers medicine) versus a drug-eluting stent (a small mesh tube that releases medicine). The study hopes to see which approach keeps the artery open longer and is safer over time.
This study compares two ways to open blocked heart arteries: one uses a balloon coated with medicine, and the other uses a small mesh tube (stent) that releases medicine. The goal is to see which works better for people with chest pain or a recent heart attack.
