One-Time artery fix may cut hospital time for heart attack patients

NCT ID NCT07519590

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looked at two ways to treat heart attack patients who have multiple blocked arteries. One group had all blockages fixed in a single procedure, while the other group had the main blockage fixed first and the others in a separate procedure later. The goal was to see if the one-time approach could reduce hospital stays and costs without causing more problems. The study involved 112 adults who had a specific type of heart attack and were treated with a clot-busting drug before the procedure.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedure

What this could lead to

If successful, this approach could shorten hospital stays and lower costs for heart attack patients with multiple blocked arteries, without increasing short-term risks.

What could go wrong

This is a small, completed study with 112 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. There is a risk of kidney damage from contrast dye, and long-term benefits are not yet clear.
