Protecting kidney health after heart angiograms or stents
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at ways to improve kidney outcomes after a coronary angiogram and/or stent procedure. If you’re having one of these heart procedures and your kidneys aren’t already severely affected, the study may help reduce the risk of kidney worsening around the time of the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re 18 years or older
- You’re scheduled for a coronary angiogram and/or a stent procedure (PCI)
- You can and are willing to attend study visits and participate
- You expect to live at least 6 months
- You have not had iodine-based contrast medicine in the last 2 days

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether drinking extra water during treatment for a heart attack can help prevent kidney damage caused by the heart procedure. If you are eligible, this could be a simple way to protect your kidneys.
This trial tests whether a simple “arm conditioning” technique done remotely before a procedure can help prevent kidney injury caused by contrast dye used during certain heart catheter tests. You might benefit if you’re having a coronary angiogram and your kidney function is reduced, but you’re not on dialysis.
This trial tests whether using a much smaller amount of contrast dye for an invasive heart scan is safer for people with acute kidney injury (AKI). It may help reduce further kidney stress while still allowing doctors to look at coronary (heart) arteries.
This trial uses a special ultrasound camera inside the heart's arteries to guide stent placement for people with chronic kidney disease. The goal is to see if this approach improves outcomes compared to standard methods.
This trial studies whether a device called Dye-Vert Plus can lower the risk of kidney injury from contrast dye during heart catheter procedures (CAG and/or PCI). It focuses on people at higher kidney risk, especially those with diabetes or high blood pressure.
This trial tests if drinking beetroot juice can help protect your kidneys from damage caused by the dye used during heart procedures. It is for people hospitalized with a certain type of heart attack who are at moderate to high risk of kidney problems.
