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 trial tests a new imaging technique called μFR to help doctors decide which blockages in your heart arteries need treatment after you've had a heart attack. It may help identify which blockages are most dangerous and need fixing soon versus those that can wait.
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 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.
This study tests a new imaging technique to help doctors see inside your heart arteries during a stent procedure. It may help guide treatment and improve outcomes for people with heart disease.
This study tests a new way to measure blood flow after placing a stent, using a very thin wire with a camera. It helps doctors decide if the stent is working well without needing extra medication like adenosine—just a tiny dose of nitroglycerin. You may qualify if you have blockages in two or more heart arteries and are already scheduled for a stent procedure.
This trial tests a new type of stent (a small mesh tube) for people with heart disease who need a procedure to open blocked arteries. It aims to see if the stent is safe and works well.
