New balloon treatment aims to clear blocked stents without extra surgery
NCT ID NCT06492174
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a special balloon coated with the drug paclitaxel to treat in-stent restenosis, where a previously placed stent in a heart artery narrows again. Twenty adults who have this condition will receive the balloon treatment or standard care. Researchers will check if the balloon safely keeps the artery open and reduces the need for further procedures over 12 months.
What this could mean

Active substance
paclitaxel-coated balloon catheter
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a new treatment option for people whose stented arteries narrow again, potentially reducing the need for repeat procedures.
What could go wrong
This is a small early-phase trial with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug coating may cause side effects or not work better than existing options.
