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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This registry study looks at adults with a specific kind of blockage pattern where a heart artery splits. By collecting information about these cases, the study aims to better understand treatment and outcomes for this condition.
This trial tests whether a computer guidance system can help doctors choose the right pressure/blood-flow measurements during certain heart artery procedures. It may help ensure treatment decisions are based on the clearest information about narrowed arteries.
This study is a “registry,” meaning it collects information about adults with certain types of heart artery blockages at a branching point. It may help doctors better understand which treatments work best, though it usually does not require a new treatment to be tested.
