New balloon aims to clear clogged heart stents

NCT ID NCT07159087

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study compares a new drug-coated balloon (Genoss SCB) to an existing one (SeQuent Please NEO) for treating coronary arteries that have re-narrowed after stenting. About 94 adults with this condition will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two balloons during a standard heart procedure. The main goal is to see which balloon better keeps the artery open six months later, as measured by a special X-ray.

Active substance

Sirolimus-coated balloon catheter (Genoss SCB) compared to Paclitaxel-coated balloon catheter (SeQuent Please NEO)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a better option for treating re-narrowed heart arteries after stenting, potentially reducing the need for repeat procedures.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 94 patients. The new balloon may not prove superior or could have unexpected side effects. Results may not apply to all patients.
