Treating microvessel injury after heart attack
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests treatments for small blood vessel damage after a major heart attack (STEMI). If you have had a heart attack and are receiving a stent, this study may help improve recovery by targeting microvascular injury.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had a major heart attack (STEMI) within 6 hours of symptoms starting.
- The blockage was in the main artery supplying the front of your heart (LAD).
- You are getting a stent placed in that artery.
- You have no other serious conditions like severe kidney disease, active bleeding, or blood thinners.
- You are not pregnant, have no prior heart damage, and no metal implants that prevent MRI scans.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a low-dose clot-busting medicine placed into the heart artery after a primary stent can improve outcomes in people with a certain type of heart attack. It also involves short hospital follow-ups and a heart MRI to look at how the heart is recovering.
This trial studies whether doing a planned, staged treatment for some artery blockages after a heart attack can improve outcomes. It uses detailed images of the heart arteries and compares results in people who are stable after their initial emergency procedure.
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.
This trial studies whether adding a special heart “reset” step (ischemic postconditioning) and using an imaging guide during the emergency procedure can improve outcomes for people having a STEMI heart attack. It’s meant to optimize treatment when a blocked heart artery is being opened.
This study looks at whether giving medication before the heart procedure can reduce tiny blood-vessel blockages (and “no-flow” areas) after a certain type of heart attack. It may help improve heart blood flow right after treatment in people who meet specific procedure and timing criteria.
This trial tests a non-invasive method to improve blood flow in the arm during a heart attack. It may help reduce heart muscle damage before the standard artery-opening procedure.
