Post-stent blood flow test with nitroglycerin for multivessel patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to measure blood flow after placing a stent, using a very thin wire with a camera. It helps doctors decide if the stent is working well without needing extra medication like adenosine—just a tiny dose of nitroglycerin. You may qualify if you have blockages in two or more heart arteries and are already scheduled for a stent procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have significant blockages (stenosis) in at least two major heart arteries (the doctor sees 50% or more narrowing on an angiogram).
- You are scheduled to have a stent procedure (percutaneous coronary intervention, or PCI) in at least one of those blocked arteries.
- You are able to take a medication called adenosine (used during the procedure) and are not allergic to it.
- You are medically stable (not in the middle of a heart attack) and do not have a serious illness that would limit your life expectancy.

This study checks how severely blocked a coronary artery is using measurements taken during a planned heart catheterization, to help guide whether and how to do a stent (PCI). It may help doctors choose the best treatment plan for people with about 70% or more narrowing.
This trial studies whether a medicine (nicorandil) given into a coronary artery during stent procedures can help keep blood flow from getting worse. It may help people having stent placement for coronary artery disease by improving how well blood moves through the treated area.
This Phase 4 study tests a way to measure blood flow in heart arteries to help doctors choose the best stent plan. It may help improve safety and effectiveness for people having elective heart stent procedures for stable angina or certain heart attacks.
This study compares two ways of testing the small blood vessels in the heart to understand chest pain when no major blockages are found. It may help doctors learn more about why you have chest pain and how to treat it.
This study looks at how to personalize treatment for people with angina (chest pain) by measuring how well blood flows through the heart’s small vessels and the main arteries during a procedure. It may help doctors choose the right approach after your coronary angiography (heart artery imaging).
This trial compares when to do a stent procedure (PCI) in people with NSTEMI who have disease in more than one coronary artery (non-IRA). It may help doctors choose the safest and most effective timing for treatment to improve outcomes.
