3-vessel ultrasound flow study in heart disease patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial uses a special ultrasound to measure blood flow in three main heart arteries. It may help doctors better understand blockages and improve treatment planning.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have chest pain (stable or unstable angina) or had a heart attack and are past the initial recovery phase.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have blockages of at least 30% in all three major heart arteries (confirmed by angiogram).
- You have had a successful balloon or stent procedure (PCI) to open a blocked artery before joining the study.
- You have not had heart bypass surgery (CABG).
- You do not have severe heart failure or serious kidney problems.

This study compares two advanced imaging methods (IVUS and FFR) to see which better identifies blockages that need treatment. It may help doctors decide the best care for people with chest pain or recent heart attacks.
This study tests whether a special ultrasound probe can help doctors safely treat all your blocked arteries in one single procedure, so you won't need to come back for a second operation. It's for people who had a heart attack, had emergency stenting of the main blocked artery, and have another artery that is partly blocked but hasn't been treated yet.
This study will look at how using a special ultrasound (IVUS) during a heart procedure (PCI) can help people with complex blockages, such as heavy calcium or multiple narrowings. It aims to see if this approach improves outcomes.
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 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 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.
