Heart stent showdown: does adding a procedure to pills prevent more heart attacks?
NCT ID NCT07577518
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will compare two approaches for people with chronic coronary syndrome (narrowed heart arteries): getting a stent plus standard medications versus medications alone. About 2,301 participants will be randomly assigned to one group, and researchers will track major heart events like heart attacks or death. A smaller substudy will also test two forms of the drug carvedilol for angina control.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and carvedilol
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that adding a stent procedure to standard medications reduces major heart events like heart attacks or death in people with chronic coronary syndrome.
What could go wrong
This trial hasn't started yet, and results may not show a clear benefit of PCI over medication alone. The carvedilol substudy is small (220 people), so findings may be limited.
