PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY INTERVENTION

This study tests whether a smartphone app can help people with coronary heart disease better control their blood pressure and cholesterol after a heart procedure. About 792 adults who have had a stent placed will either use the app or receive standard care. The goal is to see if …

This study compares two ways to open blocked heart arteries: a drug-coated balloon and a drug-coated stent. About 892 adults with multiple blocked arteries will be randomly assigned to one treatment. The goal is to see which approach leads to fewer deaths, heart attacks, repeat p…

This study will follow about 50 adults who received a special drug-coated stent (ABLUMINUS NP) to treat blocked heart arteries. Researchers want to see how safe and effective the stent is in real-world use over 5 years. The main goal is to check if the treated artery stays open a…

This study compares two blood thinners, bivalirudin and heparin, in over 5,000 heart patients who are at high risk of bleeding and need a procedure to open blocked arteries (PCI). The goal is to see if bivalirudin reduces serious complications like death, heart attack, stroke, or…

This study tests whether placing an ice bag on the groin area after a heart procedure (called PCI) can reduce pain and bruising. Sixty adults who had the procedure through the femoral artery will be enrolled. Researchers will measure pain levels and check for hematoma (a bruise-l…

This study looks at why coronary artery disease (blockages in heart arteries) gets worse rapidly in some patients. Researchers will compare 34 people with fast-progressing disease to 18 with slow-progressing disease, checking their medical history, lab results, and imaging. The g…

This study looks at whether people who had a heart procedure with a drug-coated balloon can safely stop taking antiplatelet medication (blood thinners) after 12 months. Researchers will compare those who stop versus those who continue, tracking heart events and bleeding risks. Ab…

This study tests whether using a special CT scan to plan heart stent procedures makes them faster, safer, and more efficient. About 200 adults with narrowed heart arteries will either get the CT-guided plan or the usual approach. Researchers will compare procedure time, radiation…

This study will collect information from 3,000 people with severely calcified coronary artery disease who are undergoing artery-opening procedures. Researchers will track which treatments work best in real-world settings, including advanced tools like lasers and imaging. The goal…
