New stent aims to tackle tough heart blockages
NCT ID NCT07491107
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 15, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This registry will follow 2000 people with complex coronary artery disease who receive the Inspiron EVO drug-eluting stent. The stent is designed to be easier to deliver and stronger than standard stents. Researchers will track how well the stent works and whether it reduces heart attacks, death, 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
- Inspiron EVO Drug-Eluting Stent
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that the Inspiron EVO stent is a safe and effective option for treating complex coronary blockages, improving outcomes for patients with challenging heart disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a randomized trial, so results may be less definitive. The study is not yet recruiting, and real-world outcomes may vary. Risks include typical stent complications like blood clots or re-narrowing.

Inclusion Criteria: * Individuals aged 18 years or older presenting with complex coronary lesions requiring percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). * Individuals who provide consent and are willing to comply with the follow-up protocol. * Individuals who received treatment with the Inspiron™ EVO Stent. * Individuals with lesions ≥ 30 mm in length (Subprotocol 1). * Individuals with significantly calcified coronary lesions (moderate to severe according to the ACC/AHA classification B1, B2, or C), with or without indication for lesion preparation techniques (Subprotocol 2). * Individuals with multivessel coronary artery disease (≥2 affected coronary vessels, with at least one vessel of small diameter ≤2.5 mm) (Subprotocol 3). * Individuals included in Subprotocol 1, 2, or 3. The evaluated segment must be accessible to the IVUS (Intravascular Ultrasound) catheter (Subprotocol 4). Exclusion Criteria: * Lesions in saphenous vein grafts or internal mammary grafts. * Contraindication to the use of a drug-eluting stent. * Individuals who were treated during the index procedure with any stent other than the Inspiron™ EVO Stent.
