Read our Coronary artery disease research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial compared two different stent designs used to open blocked heart arteries. Participants received either the MiStent SES stent or the XIENCE EES stent during a procedure to restore blood flow to the heart. The researchers followed participants for three years to see which stent performed better and had fewer complications.
Heart disease caused by blocked arteries is a serious condition that requires treatment. This medication tested whether a newer stent design with a coating that dissolves over time might work as well as or better than traditional stents with permanent coatings.
You would undergo a procedure to receive one of the two stent types in your blocked artery. The study doctors would randomly assign you to receive either the new MiStent SES stent or the XIENCE EES stent. After the procedure, you would return for follow-up visits at 1 month and 12 months, and the research team would monitor you for any complications or health events over the next three years.
