NCT ID NCT01483755
First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 07, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study looked at whether a technique called angioplasty postconditioning can reduce heart muscle damage in people having a heart attack. It included 72 adults whose blocked heart artery had already started to reopen on its own before the procedure. The goal was to see if brief cycles of re-blocking and reopening the artery during angioplasty could limit the size of the heart injury.
