Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 50 years+ - NCT04014140Recruiting
iFR-guided bypass surgery planning during elective heart surgery
This trial studies whether using a pressure-measurement test called iFR during a pre-surgery heart scan can help guide coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). It may improve how doctors choose which artery blockages to treat during planned surgery.
London, Greater LondonAges 25–80 - NCT04124120Recruiting
Single vs multiple bypass grafts for women heart surgery
This study compares outcomes of using one bypass graft versus multiple bypass grafts during coronary artery bypass surgery in women. It aims to see which approach leads to better recovery and heart outcomes for eligible patients.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04220047Recruiting
Surgery changes for preventing irregular heart rhythms during bypass
This trial studies whether removing a small heart pouch area and a specific ligament during off-pump heart bypass surgery improves outcomes. It is meant for people having their first off-pump coronary bypass, without a history of atrial fibrillation.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT04674449Recruiting
Tests a targeted plan for people with chest pain from heart artery disease
This study aims to match people with angina (chest pain from heart artery problems) to the most helpful treatment plan based on their test results. It’s done around the time doctors are planning an invasive heart scan to look at the coronary arteries.
CorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04772768Recruiting
Checking problems in vein bypass grafts in people with recurring chest pain
This study looks at how vein bypass grafts are working over time in people who had heart bypass surgery and now have recurring angina (chest discomfort). It may help doctors better understand why symptoms come back and how the heart and grafts change.
AmsterdamAges 18–90 - NCT05346068Recruiting
Compare two balloon types for calcium-heavy blocked heart arteries
This trial studies whether one type of balloon works better than another for treating badly calcified (hardened) coronary artery blockages. If you qualify, you would be randomly assigned to get the tested balloon treatment during your heart procedure.
LucerneAges 18 years+ - NCT05380622Recruiting
CT scan to study plaque and blood flow in heart disease
This study uses a special heart CT scan (coronary CT angiography) to look at plaque and how blood flows in people with coronary artery disease. It may help match your scan results with heart measurements and guide future care decisions.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT05532631Recruiting
Compare stent procedure versus bypass surgery for weak heart
This study compares two ways to improve blood flow to the heart—using stents through a catheter or bypass surgery—in people with heart muscle weakness and blockages in more than one coronary artery. It may help identify which approach leads to better outcomes over at least two years.
Créteil, Val De MarneAges 18 years+ - NCT05770349Recruiting
Heart failure patients having bypass surgery are studied
This study looks at tiny structures inside heart muscle cells (especially “power stations” in the cells) in people with certain types of heart failure who are getting coronary bypass surgery. It may help researchers better understand what changes happen in the heart and how this could guide future care.
TomskAges 18 years+ - NCT05799092Recruiting
Invasive vs non-invasive test for less-severe blocked heart arteries
This study compares two approaches to evaluating and treating people with symptoms of blocked heart arteries that are not “high-risk.” It may help doctors choose the safest, most effective next step for you by comparing invasive testing versus non-invasive evaluation.
Bucheon-siAges 19 years+ - NCT05829889Recruiting
FFR test versus angiogram to guide left main heart treatment
This trial compares two ways to decide how to treat a narrowed “left main” coronary artery: a pressure-based test (FFR) versus standard X-ray imaging (angiography). It aims to see which approach better helps choose safe, appropriate treatment using a stent when appropriate.
Hong KongAges 20 years+ - NCT05831085Recruiting
Compare procedures to improve heart blood flow in diabetes
This study compares two ways to restore blood flow to the heart—stent placement (PCI) versus bypass surgery (CABG)—in people with diabetes and significant multi-vessel coronary artery disease. It looks at outcomes using both standard heart tests and additional imaging/functional measurements to guide the best revascularization strategy.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 20 years+ - NCT05860400Recruiting
Testing add-on treatment to calm artery inflammation after heart procedures
This study looks at whether a comprehensive add-on treatment—starting with immune medicine and then a heart procedure when needed—can improve outcomes for people whose coronary artery disease is getting worse quickly. It focuses on cases where inflammation is likely driving new artery blockages or worsening chest pain.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05972070Recruiting
Telemedicine home cardiac rehab after heart procedure
This trial studies whether cardiac rehabilitation done at home, with help from telemedicine, is safe and helps you stick with the program after a recent heart procedure. It may help you recover with more convenience while still improving heart-related fitness and adherence.
Brookfield, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06007248Recruiting
Study of inflammation-related coronary artery disease
This study compares two types of coronary artery disease: one linked to inflammation (IR-CAD) and the standard type (AS-CAD). If you have had a heart procedure and were recently hospitalized for worsening chest pain, this study may help doctors understand your condition better.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 45–64 - NCT06028165Recruiting
Heart bypass surgery planning with CT versus standard angiogram
This trial compares two ways to plan heart bypass surgery: a CT scan that measures blood flow (CT-FFR) versus the usual heart catheter X-ray (angiogram). It aims to see which method leads to better outcomes for people with blocked heart arteries.
