New dissolving stent shows promise for complex heart blockages
NCT ID NCT03027856
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a special stent made of magnesium that slowly dissolves in the body. The stent releases a drug to prevent scarring and was used in 20 patients with complex blockages where arteries branch. The goal was to see if it is safe and works well for these tricky cases.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
sirolimus-eluting bioresorbable magnesium stent
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a safer, temporary stent option for complex heart artery blockages that dissolves over time.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply widely. The stent could cause blood clots or artery re-narrowing.
