What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early This study
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study looked at how the heart's pumping function recovers after a short, controlled blockage of a coronary artery using a balloon. Six adults with stable coronary artery disease undergoing angioplasty had a balloon inflated in their artery for 90 seconds. Researchers measured heart wall motion before and after to see how quickly it returned to normal. The study was terminated early, so findings are very preliminary.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Intracoronary balloon inflation
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors understand how the heart recovers after temporary blood flow blockage during angioplasty.
What could go wrong
This was a very small, early study with only 6 participants and was terminated early, so results are limited and may not apply to others.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age \>18 years. 2. Stable CAD with indication for PCI of a lesion in either of the following coronary segments: 1. 6 or 7 (proximal or mid left anterior descending coronary artery) 2. 11 (Proximal left circumflex coronary artery) 3. 1 or 2 (proximal right coronary artery) 3.
