Tiny study probes how heart rebounds after brief artery blockage
NCT ID NCT05023629
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at how the heart's pumping function recovers after a short, controlled blockage of a coronary artery using a balloon. Six adults with stable coronary artery disease undergoing angioplasty had a balloon inflated in their artery for 90 seconds. Researchers measured heart wall motion before and after to see how quickly it returned to normal. The study was terminated early, so findings are very preliminary.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Intracoronary balloon inflation
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors understand how the heart recovers after temporary blood flow blockage during angioplasty.
What could go wrong
This was a very small, early study with only 6 participants and was terminated early, so results are limited and may not apply to others.
