A study on heart artery blockages using sound and fluid flow
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This trial studies heart artery blockages using sound and fluid flow principles to better understand them. It may help doctors choose the best treatment for people with one or two blocked arteries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have one or two blockages in your heart arteries.
- You have had a coronary angiogram (a special X-ray of your heart arteries).
- You have not had a heart procedure like angioplasty or stent placement (PCI).
- You have not had bypass surgery (CABG).

This trial looks at people with a blockage in a heart artery of 50% or more. It tests a new way to check the blockage using a special CT scan. This could help decide the best treatment to prevent future heart problems.
This study tests a device that listens to your heart sounds to check for signs of blocked heart arteries. It is for people who have chest pain symptoms but have never had a heart attack, stent, or bypass surgery.
This study looks at real-world outcomes for people with narrowed heart arteries (coronary artery disease). It may include those treated with stents (PCI) or medicines. Doctors will use a special computer tool to measure the severity of blockages and track health over time.
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 trial tests a new balloon device that uses sound waves to break up hard calcium in heart arteries. It may help people with severe calcified blockages who need a stent, including those with a completely blocked artery, as long as the blockage has not been treated before.
This trial tests a new balloon catheter that uses sound waves to break up hard calcium blockages in heart arteries. It may be an option for people with stable chest pain or who have recovered from a recent heart attack, and who have a single, tough blockage.
