Mini stent offers hope for babies with blocked heart arteries
NCT ID NCT06828770
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is for babies, infants, and small children who have narrowed arteries in or near the heart. Doctors will use a special tiny stent to open the blockage and improve blood flow. The goal is to see how well the stent works and to track any side effects in everyday medical practice. About 100 children will take part across multiple hospitals in the United States.
