Redesigned catheter aims to make angiograms safer and more precise
NCT ID NCT06986954
First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows about 800 people undergoing angiographic procedures with redesigned Beacon Tip catheters. The goal is to see if the catheters can be safely navigated to the intended location and used for tasks like releasing contrast dye or taking anatomical measurements. Researchers will track major complications within 30 days of the procedure. The data will be used to support regulatory approval in Europe and other regions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Beacon Tip Catheters (device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could support regulatory approval for improved catheters that help doctors perform angiograms and anatomical measurements more safely.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may not prove the device is better than others. Complications like bleeding or stroke are possible.
