New balloon technique takes on Rock-Hard arteries in heart disease trial

NCT ID NCT07093788

First seen Dec 16, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 18 times

Summary

This study tests whether a super high-pressure balloon or a special shockwave device (intravascular lithotripsy) works better to crack open severely calcified coronary arteries before placing a stent. About 78 adults with hardened heart arteries will be randomly assigned to one of the two preparation methods. The main goal is to see which technique allows the stent to expand more fully, which may lower the risk of future heart problems.
