15-Year heart study tracks patients after balloon treatment
NCT ID NCT06972225
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study reviews the long-term heart health of 1,500 patients who received a drug-eluting balloon to treat coronary artery disease between 2010 and 2025. Researchers will track major heart events like heart attacks, strokes, and repeat procedures. The goal is to better understand the safety and effectiveness of this treatment over many years.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

- drug-eluting balloon
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could provide valuable long-term safety and effectiveness data for drug-eluting balloons in treating coronary artery disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may be influenced by other factors and may not apply to all patients.
