OCT-Guided vs. FFR-Guided Stent Placement in Heart Disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 19 years old.
- You are getting a heart stent for stable angina or acute coronary syndrome (a type of chest pain or heart attack).
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or take medicines that make you bruise or bleed easily.
- You are not currently in shock because your heart isn't pumping enough blood.
- You have not had a blood clot form inside a stent before.

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 trial compares two non-invasive imaging tests to help doctors decide whether patients with narrowed heart arteries need stents or surgery. One test uses a CT scan, the other uses a standard angiogram, both measuring blood flow to guide treatment.
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.
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 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.
This study tests a new imaging technique to help doctors see inside your heart arteries during a stent procedure. It may help guide treatment and improve outcomes for people with heart disease.
