Polyvascular disease imaging study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a special camera to take detailed pictures of artery blockages in people with heart disease, stroke, or mini-stroke. It may help doctors better understand how to treat multiple blocked arteries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with coronary artery disease (at least one artery in your heart is 50% or more blocked).
- For Task 2 of the study, you have also had a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA or mini-stroke) confirmed by a neurologist.
- You are willing to undergo an imaging procedure that combines two types of cameras (OCT and IVUS) to look inside your arteries.
- You do not have severe kidney problems, active bleeding, or other conditions that would make the procedure unsafe.

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 uses advanced imaging techniques to look at the build-up inside heart arteries in people with stable angina. It aims to help doctors understand and treat these blockages more accurately.
This study uses a special camera (OCT) to look inside heart arteries during a routine procedure (angiogram). The goal is to see if a computer can help doctors make better treatment choices for people with unstable angina (chest pain) or recent heart attacks.
This trial tests a new imaging system and tiny catheter that lets doctors see inside brain blood vessels more clearly during a planned angiogram. It may help people who need follow-up imaging after previous treatment or a diagnostic look at their vessels.
This trial uses a special ultrasound to measure blood flow in three main heart arteries. It may help doctors better understand blockages and improve treatment planning.
This trial uses a special camera called OCT to take detailed pictures of the heart's arteries. It aims to see if these pictures help doctors better understand blockages and decide on treatment for stable chest pain.
