New quality check aims to reduce bleeding risks in heart patients
NCT ID NCT07354828
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how well hospitals follow guidelines for blood thinner use after heart stent placement. It will enroll 3,500 patients with acute coronary syndrome who are at high risk for bleeding. Researchers will track their treatment and outcomes for 12 months to see if a new quality control system can help doctors personalize therapy and reduce complications.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Study participants will be selected from inpatients admitted to multiple nationwide medical centers (including prefecture/county-level hospitals and provincial/national key hospitals) who are clinically diagnosed with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) and undergo Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) with Drug-Eluting Stent (DES) implantation during hospitalization. The source population consists of ACS patients who meet the clinical diagnostic criteria, require PCI treatment, and are potentially at high bleeding risk (may fulfill ARC-HBR criteria). Patients with clear contraindications to Dual Antiplatelet Therapy (DAPT), inability to complete follow-up, or other conditions that make them unsuitable for the study are excluded from the source population.
