Heart artery showdown: could a balloon beat two stents?

NCT ID NCT07159737

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 04, 2026 · Updated 26 times

Summary

This study tests if a new hybrid approach—using one stent plus a drug-coated balloon—works better than the usual two-stent method for treating a severe blockage in the heart's main artery. About 800 people with this condition will be randomly assigned to one of the two procedures. The goal is to see which method better prevents death, heart attacks, and the need for repeat procedures over two years.
