New balloon treatment for heart disease tested in first human study

NCT ID NCT05521542

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a new balloon catheter coated with two drugs to open blocked heart arteries in people with chest pain or minor heart attacks. The balloon is inserted through a small tube and inflated to push plaque against the artery wall, releasing medication to keep the artery open. The goal is to see if it is safe and works without needing a permanent stent. 28 participants will be followed for 6 months to check artery healing and any heart problems.
