Drug-coated balloon treatment during emergency angioplasty for STEMI
This registry will try using drug-coated balloons instead of stents during emergency PCI for people with ST-elevation heart attacks to see how the procedure and patient outcomes compare.

Low-level tragus stimulation to improve heart function after ST-elevation heart attack
This trial will see if low-level tragus stimulation applied near the ear can improve heart pumping and wall motion on echocardiogram in people with ST-elevation heart attacks treated with primary PCI.

-
Using stem cells to treat heart attacks
This study is testing if a new stem cell treatment can help people who have just had a heart attack feel better and recover more effectively.
-
Registry for early discharge after heart attack treatment
This study looks at whether patients who leave the hospital early after heart attack treatment are safe and how they do afterward.
-
Comparing immediate versus staged heart surgery for patients with severe heart attacks and multiple blocked arteries
This study is testing whether doing all heart surgery at once or in stages is better for people who have had a severe heart attack and have multiple blocked arteries.
-
Comparing IVUS and FFR for treating artery lesions in heart attack patients
This study is testing whether using ultrasound or a different method to guide treatment for blocked arteries helps heart attack patients with multiple affected vessels get better results after their initial procedure.
-
Polymer-free sirolimus-coated stent with P2Y12-only single antiplatelet therapy versus conventional dual antiplatelet therapy for STEMI
This trial will test whether adults treated with emergency PCI for STEMI can be safely managed with a polymer-free sirolimus-coated stent and P2Y12-only single antiplatelet therapy instead of standard aspirin plus a P2Y12 drug.
-
Using half-dose recombinant staphylokinase before heart procedure for heart attack patients
This study is testing if giving a half-dose of a new heart medication before a heart procedure can help heart attack patients feel better and avoid serious complications.
-
Using CRP apheresis to treat heart attacks
This study is testing if a treatment that removes a specific protein from the blood can help heart attack patients recover better when combined with standard care.
