Improved MRI to detect blood clots in the heart
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of MRI with a special dye (ferumoxytol) to better find blood clots in the heart. It is for people who have a left ventricular aneurysm (a bulging area in the heart's main pumping chamber) or who had a heart procedure called percutaneous ventricular reconstruction about 6 months ago.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old.
- You must have a left ventricular aneurysm (a bulging area in the heart) found by an ultrasound, or you had a heart procedure called percutaneous ventricular reconstruction about 6 months ago.
- You must be able to lie flat for the MRI scan.
- You must not have any metal in your body that is not safe for MRI (like certain implants or shrapnel).
- You must not have claustrophobia (fear of enclosed spaces) that prevents you from having an MRI.
- You must not be allergic to iron or have a condition that causes too much iron in your body.

This trial tests a special MRI using a contrast agent called ferumoxytol to better see calcium buildup in heart arteries. It may help people who need a coronary angiogram and have some calcium visible on a prior CT scan.
This study uses advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to better understand and diagnose heart disease. If you have suspected or confirmed heart problems, this trial may help doctors get clearer pictures of your heart muscle and tissue to figure out what's causing your symptoms.
This study tests whether a special iron-based contrast agent called ferumoxytol can improve MRI images of arteries affected by atherosclerosis. It may help doctors see blockages or inflammation more clearly.
This trial uses a special iron-based contrast agent called ferumoxytol during an MRI scan to get clearer pictures of your veins. It's for people who may have vein blockages or other vein issues that need better imaging.
This trial tests a new way to deliver a clot-dissolving treatment to the brain using tiny iron particles and a magnetic field. It’s for people who had a stroke within the past 24 hours and have a clot in a medium-sized brain artery that hasn’t been completely removed yet.
This study evaluates a new way to analyze heart function using a standard cardiac MRI scanner. If you have heart disease and need a heart MRI anyway, this trial tests whether this new analysis method works well across different hospitals and MRI machines.
