New balloon treatment for clogged arteries shows promise
NCT ID NCT07326735
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a special balloon coated with sirolimus, a drug that helps keep heart arteries open after a blockage is cleared. 360 adults with coronary artery disease were treated and followed for 12 months to see if the balloon reduced major heart problems like heart attack or the need for another procedure. The goal was to see if this balloon is a safe and effective option for managing heart disease.
