Balloon vs. stent: could a temporary fix beat a permanent implant for young heart attack patients?
NCT ID NCT07229248
First seen Nov 15, 2025 · Last updated May 18, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This study tests whether a drug-coated balloon (DCB) works as well as a drug-eluting stent (DES) in young adults (ages 18–50) having a severe heart attack. The balloon is temporary and leaves nothing behind, which may reduce long-term risks like blood clots and the need for prolonged blood thinners. About 496 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the balloon or the stent, and their heart health will be tracked for one year.
