New balloon treatment for heart disease under Real-World study
NCT ID NCT02038660
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is tracking 1,500 people with coronary artery disease who are treated with a drug-eluting balloon during angioplasty. The balloon releases a medicine (paclitaxel) to help keep the artery open. Researchers are checking how well it works and if it is safe over the long term, looking at events like heart attacks or the need for repeat procedures.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- drug-eluting balloon (paclitaxel-coated balloon)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that drug-eluting balloons are a safe and effective option for treating coronary artery disease, potentially reducing the need for stents.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be influenced by other factors. The balloon uses paclitaxel, which carries risks like allergic reactions or blood flow issues.
