Clinical research at this Heart Center focuses on cardiovascular diseases, with a strong emphasis on coronary artery disease. The studies are designed to evaluate better treatment options for people undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, especially those who may face a higher bleeding risk.

• Comparing drug-coated balloons with drug-eluting stents for coronary artery disease
• Studying treatment approaches for patients with acute coronary syndromes
• Assessing care strategies for patients at increased bleeding risk

These trials aim to improve the safety and effectiveness of heart disease treatment while supporting more personalized decisions about antiplatelet therapy and device-based care.
