Outcomes after a single artery heart attack (LCx)
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at patients who had a STEMI heart attack caused by a blockage in just one artery (the left circumflex). It compares how well patients recover after an emergency procedure to open that artery. If you had this type of heart attack between 2018 and 2025, your information might help doctors understand outcomes better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a type of heart attack called STEMI (ST-elevation myocardial infarction).
- You had an emergency procedure (primary PCI) to open the blocked artery.
- Only one artery — the left circumflex (LCx) — was completely blocked, with no other major blockages.
- You did not have cardiogenic shock, severe heart failure (NYHA class III–IV), or blockages in multiple arteries.

This study looks at people having a type of heart attack called STEMI and who undergo an emergency procedure to open blocked heart arteries (PPCI). Researchers want to understand how much blockage (thrombus) is present and how it affects recovery.
This study looks at the best way to reopen blocked heart arteries (using a stent procedure) in people who had a heart attack complicated by severe shock and need a life-support machine called VA-ECMO. It may help improve outcomes by testing which revascularization approach works best for multi-vessel blockages.
This trial compares two different ways of placing stents in the main heart artery on the left side and its first branch. It aims to see which method works better for people with blockages at this critical junction.
This trial compares different ways to treat serious heart artery blockages in people with a recent heart attack or unstable chest pain. It aims to see which revascularization approach works best when doctors think the heart arteries can be fully treated.
This study compares doing all heart artery procedures right away versus doing part of them later in people who had a heart attack and have blockage in more than one artery. It aims to see which approach is safer and works better after the initial emergency procedure.
This study looks at how the amount of heart artery disease affects recovery in people who had a severe heart attack (STEMI) and were treated with angioplasty. It may help doctors better predict outcomes after a heart attack.
