Test heart-procedure guidance from scans versus usual care
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have chest pain (stable angina), a heart event (acute coronary syndrome), or silent reduced blood flow
- A heart scan shows at least one narrowed artery (50% or more) in a natural artery or a bypass graft that can receive a stent
- The artery/graft you may receive a stent in is at least 2.25 mm wide by eye assessment
- You can say yes to the study with written consent and agree to follow-up visits
- You are not currently pregnant or nursing (and would need a recent pregnancy test if you could become pregnant)

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 compares how best to place a coronary stent (a small tube to keep an artery open) using modern techniques. It may help improve how safely and effectively stents are delivered in people with certain types of narrowed heart arteries.
This trial tests whether a CT scan of the heart arteries is a safe and effective alternative to standard follow-up tests in people who have had a stent or drug-coated balloon placed in a high-risk coronary artery. It may help reduce the need for additional invasive procedures.
This trial is testing whether a special heart CT scan (coronary CT angiography) can help doctors better understand and treat calcium buildup in your heart arteries. If you have a type of heart disease that might need a stent or other procedure, this study could help decide the best 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 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.
