First seen Nov 17, 2025 · Last updated May 10, 2026 · Updated 17 times

Summary

This study compares two methods to treat hardened (calcified) blockages in heart arteries that branch. Half of the 200 participants will get standard balloon treatment before a stent, while the other half will get a special device called an orbital atherectomy to first remove some calcium. The goal is to see which approach leads to better stent placement and fewer heart problems over time.
