IVUS-guided stent placement for kidney disease patients
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a special ultrasound camera inside the artery (IVUS) to guide stent placement can improve outcomes for people with serious kidney disease. The goal is to use less contrast dye and protect the kidneys better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You need to have serious kidney disease (creatinine clearance less than 30)
- You are scheduled for a stent procedure (angioplasty)
- You are not on permanent dialysis
- You have not had a CT scan or other contrast test in the last 3 days
- Your doctor has confirmed that using the IVUS ultrasound is possible for you

This trial uses a special ultrasound camera inside the heart's arteries to guide stent placement for people with chronic kidney disease. The goal is to see if this approach improves outcomes compared to standard methods.
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 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 tests a new way of placing stents in heart arteries using a special ultrasound guidance. It may be a good option if you have a heart condition needing a stent and the area to be stented is not too long.
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.
This trial compares two ways to place a stent (a small mesh tube) for a completely blocked heart artery: using an IVUS camera inside the artery versus using a standard x-ray approach. It may help people get better heart outcomes by improving how accurately the stent is placed in long-term blockages.
