Heart artery blockage assessment after a heart attack
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new tool called CoFI™ that helps doctors see if smaller heart blood vessels are blocked after a heart attack. It may help guide treatment to improve blood flow to the heart muscle.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had a specific type of heart attack (called anterior STEMI) and had a procedure to open a blocked artery within 6 hours of symptoms starting.
- The blocked artery is in a main heart vessel (the LAD), and the doctor can place a special balloon there.
- The stent used to open the artery is at least 2.75 mm wide and 15 mm long.
- You are able to have an MRI of the heart (no pacemaker, certain implants, or metal in your body).
- You do not have severe kidney disease, recent major bleeding or surgery, or a history of stroke within the last month.

This study tests a new way to measure blood flow in narrowed arteries after you've had a stent placed for a heart attack. It may help doctors decide if you need more treatment to prevent future heart problems.
This study looks at how well the heart muscle recovers after emergency angioplasty (a procedure to open blocked arteries) in people having their first major heart attack. It uses special heart scans and ECGs to check blood flow and muscle health, aiming to improve future treatments.
This trial tests a new way to treat heart attacks by using a special balloon to deliver medication to the heart's small blood vessels during a standard stenting procedure. It may help reduce damage to the heart muscle after a heart attack.
This study looks at arteries in the heart that aren't the one that caused the heart attack. It uses a special CT scan to understand these arteries better in people who have already had a procedure to open the blocked artery.
This study is testing a technique to treat heavily calcified (hard) blockages in heart arteries. The goal is to see if a special way of preparing the blockage before placing a stent helps improve blood flow to the tiny blood vessels in the heart muscle.
This study tests a way to improve blood flow in the small vessels of the heart after a first heart attack. It is for people who have a specific type of heart attack in the front part of the heart and are treated quickly with a catheter procedure.
