First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 26 times

Summary

This study tests whether a drug-coated balloon is as good as a drug-eluting stent for opening blocked heart arteries in people who have a high risk of bleeding. About 1,359 adults with coronary artery disease will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments. The goal is to see which approach leads to fewer heart-related problems and bleeding events.
