First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at a special balloon coated with sirolimus, a drug that helps keep arteries open, to treat large blockages in the heart's blood vessels. Over 300 adults with coronary artery disease were treated and followed for one year to see if they needed another procedure to reopen the treated artery. The goal was to see how safe and effective this balloon is for managing heart disease.
