Thousands tracked to see how a Drug-Coated stent performs in daily use
NCT ID NCT05505929
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This registry is following 10,000 people who receive the BioFreedom Ultra stent, a device coated with the drug biolimus A9 to keep heart arteries open. The goal is to see how well the stent works in real-world patients, not just in controlled trials. Researchers will track problems like the need for repeat procedures, heart attacks, or stent blockages over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

- Biolimus A9-coated coronary stent
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this registry will confirm that the BioFreedom Ultra stent works safely in everyday patients, supporting its continued use for coronary artery disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a controlled trial, so results may be influenced by patient differences. It does not test a new treatment, only monitors existing practice.
