New catheter aims to clear Hard-to-Treat heart blockages
NCT ID NCT06795763
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new device called the Acolyte Catheter System in people with completely blocked heart arteries (chronic total occlusions) who still have symptoms despite medication. The goal is to see if the catheter can safely help doctors guide wires through the blockage to restore blood flow. About 115 adults will take part, and the study will track success rates and any serious heart events.
