Testing a new device to find blocked heart stents
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new, non-invasive device that uses microwaves to detect if a heart stent is blocked. If you have a stent and are scheduled for a heart catheterization, this study may help see if the device works as well as the standard procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have one or more stents in your heart arteries.
- You have symptoms like chest pain or ECG changes that suggest the stent may be blocked.
- You are already scheduled for a heart catheterization (angiogram).
- You do not have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device.
- You can provide informed consent.

This study tests a new magnetic heart scan (MCG) to see if it can better detect blocked arteries causing chest pain or heart attacks. It may help doctors decide the best treatment for you.
This trial is looking at whether a blood test can help doctors choose the best treatment for people with heart disease who are getting stents. It may help make treatment more personal and effective.
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 trial tests a new stent (a small mesh tube placed in your heart artery to keep it open) called MiStent II. The stent slowly releases a medicine to help prevent the artery from narrowing again. If you have coronary artery disease and need a stent, this study may help improve your treatment.
This trial tests a new device to improve the expansion of stents in heart arteries that are not fully opened. If you are having a stent placed for blocked arteries, this study may help ensure the stent works better to restore blood flow.
This trial looks at a new method called µQFR to check if there are any significant blockages in the side branches of heart arteries after a single stent has been placed. It aims to see if this method can help doctors decide if more treatment is needed.
