Balloon over stent? new heart attack treatment tested
NCT ID NCT07436429
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests using a drug-coated balloon instead of a permanent stent to open blocked arteries during a heart attack. The balloon delivers medication to prevent re-blockage without leaving a metal implant. Researchers will track 300 participants to see if this approach is safe and effective, potentially simplifying the procedure and reducing long-term risks.
