Heart artery blockage study
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at people with a long-standing complete blockage in a heart artery. The goal is to understand risk factors and outcomes, which may help guide future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have chest pain or silent ischemia (no symptoms) with proof of reduced blood flow to the heart
- You have a complete blockage in a coronary artery that has been present for 3 months or longer
- Your kidney function is not severely reduced (eGFR above 15)
- You have not had heart bypass surgery or a stent placed in the last 3 months
- You do not have advanced heart failure (NYHA class 3 or 4), active cancer, immune system disorders, or lung-related heart disease

This trial looks at people with a blockage in a heart artery of 50% or more. It tests a new way to check the blockage using a special CT scan. This could help decide the best treatment to prevent future heart problems.
This study looks at real-world outcomes for people with narrowed heart arteries (coronary artery disease). It may include those treated with stents (PCI) or medicines. Doctors will use a special computer tool to measure the severity of blockages and track health over time.
This study looks at the long-term (10-year) outcomes of a specific stenting technique for patients with a chronic total occlusion (a complete blockage that has been there for at least 3 months) in a major heart artery. It aims to see how well the procedure works over time.
This study collects data from people who have a completely blocked heart artery and are having a procedure to try to open it. The information will help doctors learn more about these procedures and how to improve care for people like you.
This study collects data from patients who are having a procedure to open a completely blocked coronary artery. It may help improve future treatments for this condition.
This trial tests whether opening completely blocked heart arteries with a stent (angioplasty) helps people with heart failure and chest pain or shortness of breath. It aims to see if this procedure improves how well the heart works and reduces symptoms.
