This study compares two treatments for coronary artery disease in large blood vessels (≥3.5 mm): a drug-coated balloon and a drug-eluting stent. About 94 adults with heart artery blockages will be randomly assigned to one treatment. The main goal is to see which approach better p…

This study is checking if a medical device called Essential Pro is safe and works well for people with narrowed heart arteries. About 100 people who already got the device as part of their normal care will be followed. Researchers will track serious heart problems like heart atta…

This study compares two types of replacement heart valves (Allegra and Sapien) in people whose surgically implanted aortic valve has stopped working properly. About 104 adults with symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath will be randomly assigned to get one of the two val…

This study compares two types of drug-coated stents (small mesh tubes placed in heart arteries) in 2,100 people who have had a heart attack or unstable chest pain. The goal is to see which stent causes fewer heart-related problems like death, another heart attack, or the need for…

This study tests a new type of heart stent (a small mesh tube) in 500 people with heart disease who also take blood thinners. These patients have a high risk of bleeding. The new stent is designed to allow a shorter course of anti-clotting drugs, which may lower that risk. The go…

This study compares two imaging methods to guide stent placement in people with calcium buildup in their heart arteries. About 700 adults with signs of reduced blood flow to the heart will be randomly assigned to have their procedure guided by either a coronary CT angiogram or th…

This study follows over 2,000 patients with coronary artery disease who received a device called Sequent Please Neo during routine care. Researchers want to confirm the device is safe and works well by tracking major heart problems like heart attacks or the need for repeat proced…

This study looks at how well the SUPRAFLEX CRUZ stent works in people with blocked heart arteries. About 508 adults who already got the stent as part of their normal care will be followed for 12 months. Researchers will track serious heart problems like heart attacks or the need …

This study is testing a very long stent (a mesh tube) to treat long blockages in the heart's arteries. About 1,000 people with coronary artery disease will get one long stent instead of multiple shorter ones. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and works well at keeping t…

This study is checking how well a new drug-coated heart stent (Coroflex ISAR NEO) works and how safe it is in 3,000 people with narrowed heart arteries. Participants get the stent as part of their regular care, and doctors will track heart-related events like heart attacks or the…

This study is a registry that will follow about 960 people with coronary artery disease who are treated with a special balloon coated with a drug called sirolimus. The balloon is used to open blocked arteries and release medicine to keep them open. Researchers will track heart-re…

This study looks at people who recently had a major heart attack (STEMI) and have multiple blocked arteries. Doctors want to see if placing stents in unstable-looking plaques (that aren't severely blocking blood flow) plus medication is better than medication alone to prevent fut…

This study tests a drug-coated balloon (DCB) to treat small heart arteries in people with coronary artery disease who also have a high risk of bleeding. About 501 participants will receive the balloon treatment and then take only 7 days of blood thinners instead of the usual long…

This study looks at how calcium buildup in artery walls affects the healing of a heart stent after one month. Researchers will use a special camera to compare stent struts over calcium deposits to those without calcium. The goal is to understand if calcium slows down the covering…

This study looks at a simpler method to check if heart artery treatments worked well. Instead of using a drug that can cause side effects, doctors will use a special wire and nitroglycerin to measure blood flow. About 150 people with blockages in multiple heart arteries will take…
