Laser zaps stent blockages better than balloons?
NCT ID NCT07382154
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether using a laser to clear re-narrowed heart stents works better than standard balloon treatment. About 1,260 adults with drug-eluting stent restenosis will be enrolled. The goal is to see if laser-assisted angioplasty reduces heart-related deaths, heart attacks, or the need for repeat procedures within one year.
