New scan to check heart plaque after stenting
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a new, more detailed type of CT scan to look at plaque buildup in heart arteries after you've had a stent placed. It aims to see if this scan can give better images than standard tests, which might help doctors monitor your heart health more closely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a stent (a small mesh tube) placed in a major heart artery.
- You are willing to have an additional CT scan of your heart.
- You do not have any health conditions that would make this scan unsafe.

This study uses a new type of CT scanner to take pictures of your heart arteries. The goal is to see if this scanner can better detect and measure blockages, which may help your doctor decide the best treatment for you.
This study uses a special CT scan to look at the inside of your heart arteries and find any high-risk fatty deposits (plaque) that might cause problems later. It aims to see if this scan can predict future heart events, so you and your doctor can make better treatment choices.
This study uses a special heart CT scan (coronary CT angiography) to look at plaque and how blood flows in people with coronary artery disease. It may help match your scan results with heart measurements and guide future care decisions.
This trial tests whether a CT scan of the heart arteries is a safe and effective alternative to standard follow-up tests in people who have had a stent or drug-coated balloon placed in a high-risk coronary artery. It may help reduce the need for additional invasive procedures.
This study uses a new type of CT scanner (photon counting CT) to see if it can better predict heart attacks in people with heart disease or symptoms like chest pain. The scan may help doctors find problems earlier and guide treatment.
This trial is testing whether a special heart CT scan (coronary CT angiography) can help doctors better understand and treat calcium buildup in your heart arteries. If you have a type of heart disease that might need a stent or other procedure, this study could help decide the best approach.
