New balloon treatment shows promise for long heart blockages
NCT ID NCT05471245
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a special balloon coated with sirolimus, a drug that helps prevent arteries from narrowing again after angioplasty. It included 110 adults with stable or unstable coronary artery disease who had long blockages (at least 25 mm) in their heart arteries. The main goals were to measure how well the artery stayed open after 9 months and to track any serious heart problems like heart attacks or the need for another procedure.
