Can a Drug-Coated balloon keep heart arteries open for a decade?
NCT ID NCT06620458
First seen Aug 18, 2026 · Last updated Aug 19, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows about 5,000 people with coronary artery disease who are treated with a paclitaxel drug-coated balloon angioplasty, a procedure that opens narrowed heart arteries and releases medication to help keep them open. Researchers are combining past medical records with new data, including blood samples and imaging, to identify factors that predict long-term success. Participants will be tracked for up to 10 years to see how often major heart events occur and how durable the treatment is.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Paclitaxel drug-coated balloon angioplasty
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors predict which patients with coronary artery disease will benefit most from drug-coated balloon angioplasty, improving long-term outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a randomized trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may be influenced by patient differences, and long-term follow-up may be incomplete.

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 and older. * Diagnosis: Diagnosed with coronary artery disease with native large vessel lesions confirmed by coronary angiography. * Treatment Plan: Scheduled to receive paclitaxel drug-coated balloon angioplasty. * Informed Consent: Patients have been fully informed about the nature and purpose of the study, and have voluntarily agreed to participate, with signed informed consent. * Physiological Status: Cardiac function classified as NYHA I-III. Exclusion Criteria: * Allergy History: Known allergies to paclitaxel or any materials used in angioplasty (e.g., contrast agents). * Severe Complications: Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure \>180 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure \>110 mmHg). * Other Medical Conditions: Active bleeding or clotting disorders. * Other serious diseases with a life expectancy of less than 1 year (e.g., advanced cancer). * Pregnancy or Nursing: Women who are currently pregnant or breastfeeding. * Participation in Other Studies: Currently participating in other clinical trials that might affect the results of this study. * Psychological or Behavioral Factors: History of psychiatric or behavioral disorders that could interfere with adherence to study protocols, or communication barriers that prevent understanding of study requirements.
