Ultrathin strut stent for patients on blood thinners

Official title: Ultrathin Strut Sirolimus-eluting Stent With Bioabsorbable Polymer in Patients Receiving Chronic Oral Anticoagulation

Run by Fundación EPIC · NCT06863155 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing a new type of stent for patients on blood thinners to see if it can safely reduce the time they need to take additional blood-thinning medication after heart procedures.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults over 18 years old who are chronically receiving oral anticoagulation and have de novo coronary artery disease requiring stent implantation.

Probably not a fit

Patients who have been treated with any type of stent other than the SupraFlex Cruz® in the past 6 months may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study focuses on patients who are on chronic oral anticoagulation and require percutaneous coronary revascularization with stent implantation. It evaluates the use of a new generation ultrathin strut sirolimus-eluting stent with a bioabsorbable polymer, which may allow for shorter antiplatelet therapy regimens. The study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of this stent in high-bleeding risk patients, potentially improving their treatment outcomes.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could reduce bleeding risks and improve recovery for patients requiring stenting while on anticoagulants.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with similar ultrathin strut stents, indicating potential for success in this approach.
