Dissolvable heart stents may offer safer long-term fix for clogged arteries

NCT ID NCT02973529

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether new stents that dissolve over time can safely treat blocked heart arteries. Unlike permanent metal stents, these bioresorbable stents disappear after the artery heals, potentially reducing long-term risks. About 120 adults with stable heart disease will be monitored to see how well the vessels heal and if complications occur.
