Can a new catheter make heart stenting safer and more effective?
NCT ID NCT07742345
First seen Aug 03, 2026 · Last updated Aug 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial is testing a new coronary extension catheter designed to help doctors deliver balloons and stents more easily during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for coronary artery disease. The study will enroll about 69 adults who need PCI and for whom the catheter is planned to assist the procedure. Researchers will measure how often the device successfully delivers the stent, overall procedural success, and safety outcomes during follow-up.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Coronary extension catheter (a device used during percutaneous coronary intervention to help deliver balloons and stents to the target lesion)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this catheter could make complex coronary stenting procedures safer and more effective, potentially improving outcomes for people with coronary artery disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-arm study without a comparison group, so results may not be definitive. As with any invasive procedure, there are risks such as vessel damage or complications during PCI.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥18 years, regardless of gender; * Patients suitable for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and for whom the use of an extension catheter is planned to assist the intervention; * Ability to understand the purpose of the study, willingness to voluntarily participate, and ability to provide written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Reference vessel diameter \< 2 mm; * Presence of thrombus in the target vessel; * Unprotected left main coronary artery disease; * Acute myocardial infarction occurring within 7 days prior to enrollment; * Known intolerance to anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy, or known allergy to contrast media; * Concurrent severe hepatic or renal disease, or other severe systemic conditions that render the patient unsuitable for PCI; * Pregnant or lactating women; * Currently participating in another clinical trial of a drug or medical device without having reached the primary endpoint or completed the trial; * Any other condition that, in the investigator's opinion, makes the patient ineligible for participation in this study.
