Balloon vs stent: could a simple balloon be better for young heart attack survivors?
NCT ID NCT07229248
First seen Nov 15, 2025 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 17 times
Summary
This study compares two treatments for young adults (ages 18-50) having a severe heart attack called STEMI. One group gets a drug-coated balloon that expands and then is removed, leaving nothing behind. The other gets a permanent drug-eluting stent. The goal is to see if the balloon works just as well while possibly reducing long-term risks and the need for blood thinners. About 496 participants will be followed for one year.
