Can balloon timing make or break heart artery success?
NCT ID NCT07764094
First seen Aug 13, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tracks 500 adults with stable coronary artery disease or unstable angina who are undergoing a heart procedure called percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using a drug-coated balloon. Researchers are looking at how procedural details—specifically how long the balloon takes to reach the blockage and how long it stays inflated—affect the artery's healing and future heart health. The goal is to see whether these factors influence the chance of the artery narrowing again or causing heart-related complications later on.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Drug-coated balloon
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors refine how they use drug-coated balloons during heart procedures, potentially improving long-term outcomes for patients with coronary artery disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a controlled trial, so it can only show associations, not cause and effect. Results may be influenced by unmeasured factors and may not apply to all patients.
