Registry after stent procedure for blocked heart arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study follows people who had a stent placed for a long-standing blockage in a heart artery (called a CTO). It’s mainly a “registry” to understand outcomes after these procedures and help improve care in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a PCI procedure (a stent-based procedure) for a chronic blocked artery
- The blockage was classified as TIMI 0 (no visible blood flow past the blockage)
- The blockage had been blocked for more than 3 months, or the timing is not known
- The blocked area is in certain parts of the main heart arteries or large-branch areas, or a bypass graft
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies whether opening a completely blocked heart artery (a CTO) with a procedure and stent helps reduce areas of low blood flow in the heart, compared with the best medicines alone. It uses heart scans to find people likely to benefit and then checks results again at 6 months.
This trial compares two ways to place a stent (a small mesh tube) for a completely blocked heart artery: using an IVUS camera inside the artery versus using a standard x-ray approach. It may help people get better heart outcomes by improving how accurately the stent is placed in long-term blockages.
This trial studies whether two ways of threading a device to open a long-term blocked coronary artery are both safe and effective. You may qualify if you have a chronic total blockage and heart-related symptoms, and you can follow the study follow-up plan.
This study looks at the long-term (10-year) outcomes of a specific stenting technique for patients with a chronic total occlusion (a complete blockage that has been there for at least 3 months) in a major heart artery. It aims to see how well the procedure works over time.
This study collects data from patients who are having a procedure to open a completely blocked coronary artery. It may help improve future treatments for this condition.
This trial tests whether opening completely blocked heart arteries with a stent (angioplasty) helps people with heart failure and chest pain or shortness of breath. It aims to see if this procedure improves how well the heart works and reduces symptoms.
