Study of blood flow in branched heart arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to measure blood flow in heart arteries that branch. It may help doctors decide the best treatment for blockages where one artery splits into two.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a type of heart artery blockage called a bifurcation lesion (where one artery splits into two) that can be treated with a stent in the main branch.
- The main artery is at least 2.5 mm wide, and the side branch is more than 2 mm wide.
- You have stable angina, silent ischemia, unstable angina, or a mild heart attack (NSTEMI).
- You are not in cardiogenic shock, do not have severe asthma or a heart block that would prevent using a certain medicine, and you are not pregnant.

This trial uses special imaging to look at how blood flows through the heart's arteries. It aims to see if certain blood flow patterns can predict where harmful plaque (fatty buildups) may grow, which could help prevent future heart problems.
This study is a registry that collects information on people who have a narrowing or blockage at a point where an artery splits into two branches (called a bifurcation lesion). It helps doctors understand how these blockages are treated in real life.
This trial checks if a new way of measuring blood flow during heart bypass surgery helps improve outcomes. It's for people having planned (not emergency) bypass surgery for certain types of chest pain or heart attack.
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 trial uses a special camera called OCT to take detailed pictures of the heart's arteries. It aims to see if these pictures help doctors better understand blockages and decide on treatment for stable chest pain.
This trial tests a new way to treat complex blockages in heart arteries where a side branch is also narrowed. It uses a drug-coated balloon to open the side branch, aiming to improve blood flow and reduce the need for repeat procedures.
