Clinical Trial: Drug-Eluting Balloon Treatment vs. Guideline-Directed Medical Therapy for the Treatment of Lipid-Rich Plaques

U.S., Aug. 7 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07107971) titled 'Drug-Eluting Balloon Treatment vs. Guideline-Directed Medical Therapy for the Treatment of Lipid-Rich Plaques' on July 28.

Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to find out whether treating vulnerable plaques in the coronary arteries with a drug-coated balloon can make them less dangerous than using standard medication alone.
