New balloon treatment could change heart artery care
NCT ID NCT07477405
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tracks 1,200 people with coronary artery disease who receive a drug-coated balloon instead of a metal stent during angioplasty. The goal is to see if this approach reduces heart-related deaths, heart attacks, and the need for repeat procedures. Researchers hope to confirm that drug-coated balloons are a safe and effective alternative to stents in many situations.
