Trial Summary

Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?

The trial information does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, if you have a known hypersensitivity to aspirin or heparin and cannot be treated with other similar medications, you may not be eligible to participate.

What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment Minima Stent for heart problems?

Research shows that using stents (tiny tubes placed in blood vessels) in heart procedures can improve blood flow and have successful immediate outcomes, as seen in patients with heart attacks and coronary heart disease. These studies suggest that stenting, like the Minima Stent, can be effective in treating heart problems by widening narrowed arteries.12345

Is catheterized stenting generally safe for humans?

Research on various types of stents, including drug-eluting stents, shows that they are generally safe with low rates of major adverse cardiac events like heart attacks or the need for additional procedures. However, there have been some concerns about stent thrombosis (blood clots forming in the stent) and other complications, but these are relatively rare.678910

How is the Minima Stent treatment different from other treatments for heart problems?

The Minima Stent is unique because it is designed for use in very small coronary vessels, which can be challenging to treat with standard stents. This newer-generation stent may offer better outcomes for patients with small vessel coronary artery disease by providing a more suitable fit and potentially reducing complications.611121314

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial is testing a small tube-like device called the Minima Stent. It is designed for babies and young children who have narrow blood vessels. The stent helps keep these vessels open, allowing better blood flow.

Eligibility Criteria

This trial is for young patients needing treatment for certain heart vessel narrowings like aortic coarctation or pulmonary artery stenosis. They must have specific measurements of adjacent vessels and accessible veins or arteries for the procedure. Exclusions include hypersensitivity to certain drugs, active infections, aneurysms at the treatment site, very low body weight, multiple vessel conditions requiring stents simultaneously, and severe non-cardiac diseases.

Inclusion Criteria

I have at least one open and usable vein or artery in my leg, neck, or near my heart for treatment delivery.
I need treatment for a narrowing in my heart's aorta or pulmonary artery.
The subject's legally authorized representative has been informed of the nature of the clinical investigation, agrees to its provisions, and has provided written informed consent

Findings from Research

The Infinnium Paclitaxel-eluting stents demonstrated a high success rate of 98% in deployment among 196 patients with symptomatic coronary disease, indicating effective treatment for coronary artery lesions.
The study reported a low overall major adverse cardiac event rate of 8.1% at 12 months, with only 1% cardiac death and 5% myocardial infarction, suggesting that the stents are both safe and effective for patients.
Experience with paclitaxel-eluting Infinnium coronary stents.Ostovan, MA., Mollazadeh, R., Kojuri, J., et al.[2017]
In a study of 546 patients, drug-eluting stents (DES) used for non-FDA-approved indications showed a significant reduction in major adverse cardiac events at 12 months compared to bare metal stents (BMS), with rates of 16.7% for DES versus 23.6% for BMS.
The primary benefit of DES was a lower need for repeat revascularization procedures, indicating that DES can be both effective and safe for off-label use without increasing the risk of cardiac death or nonfatal myocardial infarction.
