Using a new heart scan guide to plan blood-flow procedures
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 19 years old or older.
- You have known heart artery narrowing (about 50% to 90%) seen on a heart angiogram (a special X-ray of heart arteries).
- You have either stable angina (or silent reduced blood flow) OR, if you had an acute coronary event, you also have multiple diseased vessels where the non-causing vessels are 50% to 90% narrowed.
- You have not had heart bypass surgery before.
- You can and will sign a written consent form to join the study.

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.
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 study looks at how to personalize treatment for people with angina (chest pain) by measuring how well blood flows through the heart’s small vessels and the main arteries during a procedure. It may help doctors choose the right approach after your coronary angiography (heart artery imaging).
This study compares two advanced imaging methods (IVUS and FFR) to see which better identifies blockages that need treatment. It may help doctors decide the best care for people with chest pain or recent heart attacks.
This trial compares a treatment plan guided by a special CT scan measurement of blood flow (called CT-derived FFR) versus standard medical therapy. It may help doctors choose the safest, most effective treatment based on how restricted blood flow looks on CT.
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.
