NCT ID NCT04217304
First seen Mar 09, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study looked at using ultrasound (sonothrombolysis) along with clot-busting drugs to treat people having a severe heart attack (STEMI). The goal was to see if this combination was safe and could help restore blood flow to the heart. The study included 41 adults who were treated within 6 hours of symptoms. However, the trial was stopped early, so the results are limited.
