Rapid vs. Prolonged Balloon Inflation for Coronary Stents
This study is comparing two ways to inflate a balloon during a procedure to place a stent in a narrowed heart artery (coronary artery disease). Researchers want to see if a "rapid inflation" method, where the balloon is inflated quickly, works as well as a "prolonged inflation" method, where the balloon is kept inflated for a longer time. They will measure how well the stent expands and fits against the artery wall right after the procedure. You might be able to join if you are over 18, have coronary artery disease, and need a single stent placed in an artery that is 2.5-3.5 mm wide. The study is looking for 40 participants, but its current status is unclear.
- Study design
- This interventional study plans to enroll 40 participants to compare two different balloon inflation methods during stent placement.
- What's involved
- You would undergo a stent placement procedure where either rapid or prolonged balloon inflation is used. An OCT scan will be performed immediately after inflation to check stent expansion.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Stent expansion and diameter will be measured within the first hour after stent deployment.
