Heart ultrasound after stent placement for recovery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special type of heart ultrasound can help people recover better after getting a stent for blocked heart arteries. It may be a good fit for people who are having their first stent procedure and do not have other major health issues like diabetes or recent infections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You have coronary artery disease and need a planned stent (PCI).
- You have not had a stent placed before, or an ultrasound heart treatment.
- You do not have diabetes.
- You have not had COVID-19 in the past month.

This study uses a routine heart ultrasound to see how well blood is flowing in people who recently had a heart attack and had a stent placed. The goal is to help doctors better predict recovery and plan care after a heart attack.
This study looks at why some people still have chest pain (angina) even after a successful heart stent procedure (PCI). You will have a heart MRI (stress CMR) before the stent procedure, and doctors will measure blood flow in your heart arteries during and after the procedure.
This trial compares two ways doctors place heart stents in patients having a heart attack or unstable chest pain. One method uses ultrasound imaging inside the artery (IVUS), and the other uses standard X-ray imaging. The goal is to see which approach leads to better outcomes.
This trial uses special imaging (OCT or IVUS) to look at other blockages in your heart arteries that weren't treated during your stent procedure. It helps doctors decide if those blockages might need treatment later.
This study looks at whether a special ultrasound test (LA strain) in the first 48 hours after a heart attack can help predict early complications. It is for people having their first heart attack who get stents quickly.
This trial looks at whether a cardiac rehab program can help your heart muscle recover and get stronger after a heart attack treated with a stent. If you are stable enough to exercise, rehab might improve your heart's pumping ability.
