Study of IVUS for Complex Heart Procedures
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study will look at how using a special ultrasound (IVUS) during a heart procedure (PCI) can help people with complex blockages, such as heavy calcium or multiple narrowings. It aims to see if this approach improves outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have at least one complex heart blockage (like heavy calcium, in a main artery, or very long) or need a heart pump during your procedure.
- You have stable chest pain or a non-emergency heart attack (not a severe heart attack within the last 7 days).
- All your blockages can be treated with standard drug-coated stents or balloons.
- You can attend follow-up visits and understand the risks and benefits.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking part in another study that hasn't finished.

This study uses an AI system that combines different heart imaging tests to help doctors plan stenting for complex narrowed arteries. It aims to improve how well the stent is placed and to make the procedure safer and more effective.
This trial compares using a special ultrasound probe inside the heart's arteries versus standard X-ray imaging to guide stent placement during emergency treatment for a heart attack. The goal is to see if ultrasound guidance improves outcomes.
This study is collecting information from heart procedures that use IVUS (a special ultrasound inside the blood vessels) to treat complex blockages. It aims to learn how well these procedures work in patients who identify as a racial or ethnic minority.
This trial studies a heart procedure that uses a special camera to guide where to place a drug-coated stent in an artery with heavy calcium. It may help improve how well the stent fits and works for people with certain types of coronary artery blockages.
This study compares two ways of using a special ultrasound camera (IVUS) inside your heart's main artery during stenting. The goal is to see if a new 'expert' computer system helps the doctor place the stent better than the standard IVUS method. It may help people with blockages at the Y-shaped split of the left main artery.
This study uses advanced imaging techniques to look at the build-up inside heart arteries in people with stable angina. It aims to help doctors understand and treat these blockages more accurately.
