NCT ID NCT07022587

First seen Feb 16, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 14 times

Summary

This study compares a new dissolvable scaffold (Firesorb) to a standard metal stent for treating blocked heart arteries. The scaffold is designed to support the artery temporarily and then dissolve, potentially avoiding long-term problems linked to permanent stents. About 2,000 people with coronary artery disease will be randomly assigned to receive either device. The main goal is to see if the scaffold works as well as the stent at preventing heart-related complications.
