NCT ID NCT07444346
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a special balloon that uses shockwaves to break up hardened calcium deposits in heart arteries. About 200 people with severe blockages will receive this treatment to see if it safely improves blood flow and reduces the risk of heart attack or death. The goal is to manage coronary artery disease, not cure it.
