This study compares taking two blood thinners for just 1 month versus the standard 12 months after getting a heart stent. It involves over 3,700 patients with acute coronary syndrome. The goal is to see if the shorter regimen reduces bleeding risks without increasing heart proble…

This study tests whether using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) to guide a specific stenting technique (DK crush) leads to fewer heart problems than standard angiography guidance. About 556 adults with complex coronary bifurcation lesions will be randomly assigned to one of the tw…

This study tests whether using a drug-coated balloon (DCB) instead of a standard balloon for the side branch of a heart artery after stenting can reduce the chance of major heart problems like heart attack or death within one year. About 784 adults with coronary artery disease an…

This study tests two numbing medicines given as a nerve block before shoulder surgery. The goal is to see which one controls pain better while reducing the risk of temporary diaphragm paralysis (which can affect breathing). About 184 adults having shoulder surgery will take part.…

This study tests whether a special CT scan (CCTA) of the heart can predict if atrial fibrillation will come back after a standard ablation procedure. Researchers will scan patients before their first ablation and then follow them for a year. The goal is to see if heart structure …

This study follows 2,600 adults with coronary heart disease and depression who received a stent. Researchers track major heart problems like heart attacks or death over one year to find what predicts these events. The goal is to better understand the link between depression and h…
