VasoStar Guidewire helps navigate blocked coronary arteries in clinical trials.

Phase N/A

Study Summary: This study is testing a new tool called the VasoStar Vibrational Guidewire System. A guidewire is a thin wire used by doctors to help open blocked blood vessels in the heart. The goal is to see if this new guidewire can better cross hard-to-treat blockages in heart arteries, which are called chronic total occlusions (CTOs). CTOs are 100% blocked arteries that have been this way for over three months. The study is for adults who have these blockages and have not been helped by usual guidewires.

  • Participants must be willing to follow study rules and sign a consent form.
  • Those who have already successfully used a traditional guidewire or have other serious health issues cannot join.
  • The study focuses on non-twisted artery blockages and requires specific health conditions to be met.

Risks and Considerations: As this is an early study, the risks and benefits of the new guidewire system are still being evaluated. Participants should discuss with their doctor to understand potential risks and make an informed decision.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?
