Heart patients and doctors weigh in: stent or no stent?
NCT ID NCT07378163
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at what heart disease patients and their doctors prefer when choosing between two treatments: a permanent metal stent or a drug-coated balloon that dissolves over time. Researchers want to understand how much extra risk people are willing to accept to avoid having a permanent implant. The goal is to learn about preferences and psychological effects, not to test a new treatment.
