NCT ID NCT05600088

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

Summary

This early study tests a new freezing treatment for people who recently had a heart attack or unstable chest pain. The treatment uses a special balloon to freeze high-risk plaque in the heart's arteries that could rupture and cause another heart attack. The goal is to stabilize the plaque and lower that risk. Thirty participants will be followed for one year to check safety and how well the freezing works.
