3D stent study for heart artery blockages
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a heart condition called chronic or acute coronary syndrome (like stable angina or a heart attack).
- Your doctor plans to use a special ultrasound (IVUS) to guide placing a stent in your artery.
- The total length of stents needed must be 48 millimeters or shorter (about 2 inches).
- Your body mass index (BMI) must be 35 or less.
- You must not have uncontrolled, recurrent ventricular tachycardia (a fast, dangerous heart rhythm).
- You cannot be in cardiogenic shock (where the heart can't pump enough blood).

This study compares how best to place a coronary stent (a small tube to keep an artery open) using modern techniques. It may help improve how safely and effectively stents are delivered in people with certain types of narrowed heart arteries.
This trial tests if using advanced imaging (like OCT or IVUS) to guide placement of a newer type of stent (bioresorbable scaffold) can reduce future stent problems. It is for people with stable coronary artery disease who need a stent in a main heart artery.
This trial tests a way to treat hardened, calcified heart artery blockages using a stent. It may help people who have moderate blockages that haven't been treated before.
This trial tests whether using computer software to virtually plan stent placement before your heart procedure leads to better outcomes. The goal is to optimize how stents are positioned in your coronary arteries.
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 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.
