Comparing stent placement methods at the coronary artery opening
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares different ways of placing a stent at the very beginning of a coronary artery to see which technique works best. If you are having this type of stent placed, you will get a special CT scan afterward to check the results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years of age or older
- You have a narrowing at the very opening of a coronary artery (where it meets the aorta), and you are scheduled to have a stent placed there
- You have either had a recent heart attack or unstable angina, or you have stable chest pain (angina)
- You have not had a stent placed at that same spot before
- You are willing to have a CT scan of your heart after the procedure to check how well the stent is working

This study looks at a special technique called 'floating balloon' used during stent placement in the opening of the heart's main arteries. It checks how well the stent is positioned using a CT scan after the procedure, which may help improve outcomes for people with blockages in that area.
This study compares how best to place a coronary stent (a small tube to keep an artery open) using modern techniques. It may help improve how safely and effectively stents are delivered in people with certain types of narrowed heart arteries.
This study compares two ways of deciding how completely to open blocked heart arteries using drug-eluting stents. It aims to see which guidance approach improves results and safety for people with coronary artery disease who need a PCI (heart catheter procedure).
This trial compares two ways of placing stents in complex blockages in heart artery branches (smaller arteries branching off main ones). It aims to see which technique works better for this specific type of blockage.
This study tests if using a special CT scan analysis can help doctors plan where to place stents for blocked arteries. It might make the procedure safer and more effective for people who are scheduled for a planned stent procedure.
This trial studies whether opening a completely blocked heart artery (a CTO) with a procedure and stent helps reduce areas of low blood flow in the heart, compared with the best medicines alone. It uses heart scans to find people likely to benefit and then checks results again at 6 months.
