Balloon vs stent: which works better for clogged heart arteries?
NCT ID NCT07369765
First seen Feb 01, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 13 times
Summary
This study compares two treatments for completely blocked heart arteries (chronic total occlusion). One uses a drug-coated balloon to open the blockage, the other uses a drug-coated stent to keep it open. The trial will enroll 200 adults and measure how well the artery stays open and if major heart problems occur. The goal is to see if the balloon method is as good as or better than the standard stent approach.
