Testing heart pressure measurements after a successful CTO stent
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies whether special heart measurements and detailed artery scans (OCT) can better confirm how well a stent procedure worked in people with a blocked coronary artery (CTO). It may help doctors check treatment results more precisely after PCI.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 18 or older.
- You had a successful stent procedure for a blocked coronary artery (CTO), with no significant leftover narrowing (30% or more) just before the stent.
- Doctors must be able to take the planned heart measurement test and the detailed artery scan (OCT) with good-quality images.
- You can and agree to sign a written informed consent form.
- You must not have a reason you cannot safely receive adenosine (a medication used during testing).

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 study looks at how well doctors can treat multiple blocked heart arteries using a specific drug-eluting stent, aiming to fully open them. It may help patients whose blockage pattern fits the study, but it does not include certain high-risk or special cases.
This trial uses a special light-based scan (optical coherence tomography, or OCT) to help doctors see inside your heart arteries and find the exact blockage causing your heart attack. It may help guide treatment more precisely.
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 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.
This trial studies a special heart procedure (CTO-PCI) to open a blocked coronary artery in people with heart failure and ongoing symptoms. It may help improve blood flow to the heart and symptoms for carefully selected patients.
