New heart device aims to clear toughest blockages
NCT ID NCT06736899
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests if a special device called orbital atherectomy can better prepare hardened (calcified) heart artery blockages for stenting compared to standard balloon treatment. About 200 adults with severe blockages will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. The goal is to see which approach leads to safer and more effective stent placement.
