New balloon treatment for clogged arteries under study
NCT ID NCT06275386
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at using a special balloon coated with medicine to open completely blocked heart arteries. About 30 people with chest pain or other symptoms will get this treatment. Doctors will use ultrasound and pressure measurements to check how well the artery opens and stays open over 6 to 12 months. The goal is to see if this balloon-only approach is safe and effective.
