RFR-guided heart artery treatment for moderate blockages
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial uses a special pressure wire called RFR to help doctors decide whether a stent is needed for a moderate heart artery blockage. It aims to make sure only the blockages that really need treatment get stented, which may reduce unnecessary procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a moderate blockage (50-90% narrowed) in one or more heart arteries, as seen on an angiogram.
- Your doctor has decided to use a special pressure wire test (RFR) to decide if you need a stent.
- Your heart's pumping strength is not severely weak (ejection fraction is above 30%).
- You are not having a heart attack or in shock, and you don't have a heart valve problem or a weak heart muscle condition.
- You have not had bypass surgery that left a working graft to the artery we would treat.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or have another serious illness that might shorten your life.

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.
This study looks at a specific heart blood-flow measurement taken during a coronary procedure to see how well it predicts future outcomes. If you had a successful pressure measurement called FFR with a tracing, your results may be analyzed to understand risk and prognosis.
This trial compares two imaging and pressure tests used during stent placement to see which helps improve blood flow better in people with chest pain or a recent heart attack.
This trial compares two ways to decide how to treat a narrowed “left main” coronary artery: a pressure-based test (FFR) versus standard X-ray imaging (angiography). It aims to see which approach better helps choose safe, appropriate treatment using a stent when appropriate.
This trial studies whether a special heart “pressure/flow ratio” test (measured during the procedure) can help doctors choose the best plan for coronary bypass surgery. It may improve how bypass targets the problem blood vessels, but only if certain heart and health factors fit the study rules.
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.
