Balloon vs stent: new study aims to improve heart artery treatment

NCT ID NCT07552194

First seen May 08, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026

Summary

This study tests if using only a drug-coated balloon to open blocked heart arteries (at a fork-like spot) works as well as placing a permanent stent. About 272 people with chronic coronary syndrome will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments. Researchers will track deaths, heart attacks, and the need for repeat procedures over 12 months to see which approach is safer and more effective.
