VST100 Trial Summary

This trial aims to develop better wires to navigate through challenging blockages in the heart's blood vessels.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with chronic angina or total blockage in a coronary artery that's lasted more than 3 months and hasn't been cleared by standard treatments. They must have a left ventricle ejection fraction over 20% and be able to follow the study rules. People can't join if they're pregnant, prisoners, have severe heart failure, recent heart attack, uncontrolled high blood pressure, bad reactions to contrast media, certain brain vessel diseases or are in another study.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The VasoStar guidewire system is being tested to see if it can better help clear out completely blocked arteries in the heart that haven't responded to usual treatment methods. The aim is to make it easier and quicker for doctors to get through these tough blockages during angioplasty procedures.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of the VasoStar guidewire system aren't listed here, similar procedures may include risks like bleeding at the catheter site, infection, damage to the artery wall or surrounding tissues and potential allergic reactions to materials used.
