Compare two ways to measure artery narrowing during heart procedures
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two pressure-based methods (Vessel-FFR vs standard FFR) to decide how severe a heart artery narrowing is during a coronary angiogram or PCI. It may help patients and doctors choose which narrowings need treatment more accurately.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be older than 18 years
- Be able and willing to understand and sign consent before the procedure
- Be scheduled for a coronary angiogram and/or a PCI (stent/blood vessel procedure)
- Have stable angina or a recent heart problem, but in a non-target vessel (not the main emergency culprit vessel)
- Your artery narrowing should be new (“de novo”) and about 40–80% by eye on the angiogram

This study follows people who have narrowed heart arteries and have a pressure test (FFR) to guide treatment. It may help doctors understand the course of disease when using FFR and choosing a minimally invasive approach.
This study checks how severely blocked a coronary artery is using measurements taken during a planned heart catheterization, to help guide whether and how to do a stent (PCI). It may help doctors choose the best treatment plan for people with about 70% or more narrowing.
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.
This study compares a new artificial intelligence (AI) method to measure blood flow in your heart arteries (called Medipixel FFR) with the standard invasive method. If you are scheduled for a heart angiogram or stenting and have a moderate blockage (40-90% narrowing) that doctors are unsure about, this AI tool may help decide the best treatment for you.
This study looks at a specific heart blood-flow measurement taken during a coronary procedure to see how well it predicts future outcomes. If you had a successful pressure measurement called FFR with a tracing, your results may be analyzed to understand risk and prognosis.
This trial compares two non-invasive ways to measure blood flow in narrowed heart arteries. If you have stable or unstable chest pain or had a heart attack more than 72 hours ago and a CT shows a moderate blockage (70-90% narrowed), you might be eligible.
