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 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 non-invasive ways to measure blood flow in narrowed heart arteries. If you have stable or unstable chest pain or had a heart attack more than 72 hours ago and a CT shows a moderate blockage (70-90% narrowed), you might be eligible.
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 uses a type of imaging called OCT to look inside heart arteries and help doctors decide the best treatment for people with certain types of coronary heart disease. It aims to see if this advanced imaging can improve outcomes.
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.
