Blood Flow Patterns and Stent Clots
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how blood flow patterns inside a heart stent may lead to dangerous clots. If you had a stent placed with a special camera (OCT) and later developed a clot in that stent, this trial may help understand why.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a procedure to open a blocked heart artery, using a special camera (OCT) to guide the placement of a drug-coated stent (a small mesh tube).
- The stent was a newer type, called a second-generation drug-eluting stent.
- After the stent was placed, you had a blood clot form inside it (stent thrombosis).

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 trial uses a special camera (OCT) to look inside the heart's arteries during a heart attack and compares the images with the actual material removed from the clot. It aims to better understand what causes heart attacks and improve future treatments.
This trial is testing a way to shorten the time you need to take blood thinners after getting a specific type of heart stent. It uses a special camera (OCT) inside the artery to help decide if stents are placed well enough to allow less time on dual antiplatelet therapy.
This study looks at whether information from your heart X-rays can help predict how well you do after getting a stent. It is for people who have already had a successful stent placement guided by a special camera (OCT) and want to help doctors learn more.
This study looks at how to treat blocked heart arteries that have narrowed again after a prior drug-eluting stent. It compares using another drug-eluting stent versus a drug-coated balloon, chosen based on an imaging scan inside the artery (OCT), to reduce repeat narrowing.
This trial tests whether implanting stents in non-obstructive, high-risk plaques (thin-capped fatty plaques) can prevent future heart attacks. It is for people who have already had treatment for a recent heart attack or unstable angina and have additional plaques that are not severely blocking blood flow but are vulnerable.
