This study is observing how well a special balloon coated with medicine works to open small, blocked heart arteries in real-world patients. It also aims to see if a shorter course of blood-thinning medication (just 7 days) is safe for patients who have a high risk of bleeding. Th…

This study aims to find out which of two common drug-coated heart stents works better and is safer for people who have just had a serious heart event. It will involve 2,100 patients who have had a heart attack or unstable angina and need a stent to open a blocked artery. Research…

This study is testing if using a special device to grind away hardened calcium in a heart artery branch works better than the standard method before placing a stent. Researchers will compare the two approaches in 200 patients with coronary artery disease to see which one leads to…

This study is monitoring the real-world safety and performance of a specific heart stent (Ultimaster Nagomi™) designed to treat long blockages in coronary arteries. It will follow over 1,000 patients who receive this stent as part of their standard care to see how well it works a…

This study is collecting real-world information on how well a special balloon works for treating blocked heart arteries. The balloon is coated with a drug (sirolimus) meant to keep arteries open after treatment. Researchers will follow 960 patients for one year to see if the trea…

This study is monitoring 3000 patients who receive the Coroflex ISAR NEO heart stent to confirm its long-term safety and effectiveness in real-world use. It follows patients for up to 2 years after their procedure to track complications and how well the stent works. The goal is t…

This study is testing a new type of heart stent in patients with coronary artery disease who need a stent but are already taking long-term blood thinners. These patients are at high risk for serious bleeding. The new stent is designed to release medication and dissolve over time,…

This study is monitoring the safety and performance of the SUPRAFLEX CRUZ heart stent in real-world patients with multi-vessel coronary artery disease. It will follow over 500 patients who receive the stent as part of their standard care. The main goal is to confirm the device wo…

This study is monitoring the long-term safety and performance of the Sequent Please Neo heart stent in over 2,000 real-world patients. It aims to confirm the device remains safe and effective for treating blocked heart arteries in everyday clinical practice. The main goal is to t…

This study is comparing two common treatments for clogged heart arteries: a drug-coated balloon that inflates and is removed, and a drug-coated stent that stays in place. Researchers want to see which one helps the artery work better 8 months after the procedure. About 94 people …

This study is for people who have had a major heart attack and have other weak, fatty buildups (plaques) in their heart arteries that haven't yet caused a blockage. It compares two approaches: implanting a tiny mesh tube (stent) into these risky plaques plus giving strong heart m…

This study compares two different types of replacement heart valves for patients whose previous biological valve has worn out. Researchers will randomly assign 104 patients to receive either the self-expanding Allegra valve or the balloon-expandable Edwards valve, both implanted …

This study compares two procedures for treating severely hardened heart arteries. After using sound waves to break up the hard calcium deposits, doctors will test whether using a drug-coated balloon works as well as or better than a traditional drug-coated stent at keeping the ar…

This study is monitoring the Essential Pro device, which is already approved and used to treat blocked heart arteries. Researchers are following 100 patients who receive the device as part of their standard care to confirm it remains safe and works as intended over time. The goal…

This study aims to see if using a special heart CT scan to plan a procedure is as good as or better than the current standard method, which uses an ultrasound probe inside the artery. Researchers will compare the two approaches in 700 patients with hardened, clogged heart arterie…

This study aims to understand if calcium buildup in heart arteries affects how well a stent heals in the first month after placement. Researchers will enroll 40 patients with coronary artery disease who are getting a specific stent. They will use a special imaging scan to compare…

This study is testing a new, simpler way to measure blood flow in heart arteries after a stent procedure for patients with multiple blockages. The goal is to see if using a common heart medication (nitroglycerin) instead of a drug that can cause side effects (adenosine) gives equ…
