Heart patients: when is the best time for stent placement before other surgery?
NCT ID NCT07175870
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 140 heart disease patients who also need a non-emergency surgery. Half will get a heart artery-opening procedure (PCI) before their surgery, and half will have it after. The goal is to see which timing leads to fewer heart attacks, deaths, or repeat procedures within 180 days.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI, a procedure to open blocked heart arteries)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could help doctors decide the best time to perform PCI in heart patients who need non-cardiac surgery, potentially reducing heart complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 140 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The two strategies have different risks, and the best approach may depend on individual factors.
