Heart study tests Metal-Free option for long artery blockages
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study compares two ways to treat long, diffuse blockages in heart arteries. One method uses a temporary scaffold and drug-coated balloons that leave no permanent metal behind. The other uses standard metal stents. Researchers will check how well blood flow improves right aft…

Dissolvable heart stent could replace permanent implants
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study tests a new type of heart stent that dissolves over time, unlike permanent metal stents. The trial will enroll 117 people with stable coronary artery disease to see if the new stent, placed with special imaging guidance, works safely and effectively. The goal is to red…

One drug at a time: could a simpler blood thinner strategy cut bleeding risk after stents?
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study tests a new approach for people with atrial fibrillation who have just received a coronary stent. Instead of taking multiple blood thinners together for months, the experimental group takes only one antiplatelet drug for the first month, then switches to a single antic…

Heart calcium showdown: which device wins?
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study compares two medical devices used to break up hard calcium deposits in heart arteries before placing a stent. It involves 50 adults with coronary artery disease who will be randomly assigned to receive either orbital atherectomy or intravascular lithotripsy. The goal i…

Heart artery showdown: which treatment wins for younger patients?
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study looks at two ways to treat blocked heart arteries in people aged 18 to 68. One uses a drug-coated balloon, and the other uses a temporary scaffold. The goal is to see which approach works better over time, with fewer heart problems or need for repeat procedures. About …

Could a single blood thinner after stents be safer?
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study tests whether a reduced dose of the blood thinner prasugrel (5 mg), taken alone without aspirin, is safe and effective for patients who have had a stent placed for heart disease. Researchers will compare this approach to standard dual antiplatelet therapy (aspirin plus…

Which exercise is best for your heart? new study aims to find out
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study looks at how different types of aerobic exercise affect blood vessel health in people with ischemic heart disease (such as after a heart attack or angina). Researchers will compare high-intensity interval training with short bursts, long bursts, and moderate-intensity …

Shock waves vs balloons: which best reopens clogged heart stents?
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study tests two methods to fix a common problem: a heart stent that hasn't opened fully (underexpansion). One method uses a balloon to push the stent open, the other uses shock waves (lithotripsy) to crack the blockage. About 80 people with narrowed stents will be randomly a…

Could a simple pill switch reduce heart risks after stent surgery?
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study looks at whether switching from a standard blood thinner (clopidogrel) to a lower-dose version of another (prasugrel) can better control blood clotting in heart patients who have both high bleeding and high clotting risks after getting a stent. About 40 adults who have…

New 3D stent scanner could make heart procedures safer and faster
Diagnosis Recruiting nowThis study tests a new imaging tool called 3DStent that creates a 3D picture of stents placed in heart arteries. The goal is to see if it can detect when a stent is not fully expanded, which can cause problems. About 200 patients getting a stent will have both the 3DStent scan an…
