NCT ID NCT05540223

First seen Nov 21, 2025 · Last updated Jun 18, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study tests a new type of heart stent made from magnesium that slowly dissolves over time. The goal is to open blocked arteries in people with coronary artery disease and then disappear, leaving no permanent metal implant. About 1,859 participants will be randomly assigned to get either the dissolving stent or a standard permanent drug-coated stent. Researchers will check how well the stents work and how safe they are over one year.
