Thin vs. thick stents: which is better value for heart patients?
NCT ID NCT05584280
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at two different heart stents (tiny mesh tubes used to open blocked arteries) to see which one works better in routine hospital care. Over 1,000 patients who needed a stent took part. The goal was to compare costs, procedure time, and how many extra devices were needed. This was a quality check, not a test of a new treatment.
