Guided heart stent planning using an inside pressure sensor
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a tiny pressure sensor in heart arteries during a procedure can better guide where to place a stent. It may help doctors choose the safest and most effective stent plan by more accurately measuring artery narrowing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re an adult (able to legally consent) with chest pain due to angina or a heart attack called NSTEMI
- You are scheduled for a heart catheter procedure, with planned or possible PCI (opening a blocked artery with a stent or balloon)
- After the angiogram, at least one coronary artery needs treatment based on how narrowed it looks, or based on pressure/flow measurements (like iFR/FFR) or stress test results
- You agree to follow the study plan, including scheduled visits and required tests, and you sign informed consent
- You can’t be having certain recent heart problems or treatments that the study excludes (like a recent STEMI or a stent procedure in the prior year)

This Phase 4 study tests a way to measure blood flow in heart arteries to help doctors choose the best stent plan. It may help improve safety and effectiveness for people having elective heart stent procedures for stable angina or certain heart attacks.
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 study compares two ways of guiding a heart stent procedure: using information from a special angiography scan versus using standard practice. It may help your care team choose the best treatment to improve heart outcomes after stenting.
This trial tests whether using computer software to virtually plan stent placement before your heart procedure leads to better outcomes. The goal is to optimize how stents are positioned in your coronary arteries.
This trial tests whether a computer guidance system can help doctors choose the right pressure/blood-flow measurements during certain heart artery procedures. It may help ensure treatment decisions are based on the clearest information about narrowed arteries.
This study tests a new imaging technique to help doctors see inside your heart arteries during a stent procedure. It may help guide treatment and improve outcomes for people with heart disease.
