Can a Spur-Shaped stent fix Re-Blocked arteries?
NCT ID NCT06117150
First seen Jul 22, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tests a new type of stent—a drug-coated, spur-shaped device—as a primary treatment for in-stent restenosis, where a previously placed coronary artery narrows again. The trial enrolls up to 9 adults with this condition to see if the device is safe in the short term, specifically whether it avoids major heart-related complications during the hospital stay. The goal is to explore whether this design can improve outcomes for patients whose stents have re-blocked.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a drug-eluting coronary spur stent system
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this stent design could offer a better way to treat re-narrowed arteries after a previous stent placement.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early pilot study with only 9 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Risks include major cardiac events like heart attack or need for repeat procedures.
