Heart stent stretch test: can doctors safely go bigger?
NCT ID NCT05340361
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a specific type of heart stent (zotarolimus-eluting) can be expanded more than usual to treat tricky blockages. Researchers will use a special camera (OCT) to check the stent's size and safety in 30 adults with coronary artery disease. The goal is to see if overexpanding the stent is effective and safe.

Active substance
zotarolimus-eluting stent
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors better treat complex artery blockages by safely using larger stents.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. There is a risk of stent fracture or other complications.
