FAPI imaging for heart attack risk in blocked arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special scan called FAPI-PET can predict heart problems in people with a chronic total occlusion (a completely blocked heart artery for at least 3 months). If you have this type of blockage and are planning to have a procedure to open it, this study may help guide your care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have at least one heart artery that is completely blocked and has been for 3 months or more
- You are willing to have the FAPI-PET scan and then a procedure to open the blockage
- You are not allergic to aspirin, clopidogrel, or ticagrelor
- You do not have severe liver or kidney problems
- You are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study is testing whether a special type of PET scan (called FAPI) can better see and understand fully blocked heart arteries (chronic total occlusions). If you're scheduled to have angioplasty to open such a blockage, this imaging might help guide the procedure.
This trial tests whether combining two advanced imaging tests (FFR and OCT) can help doctors better decide treatment for moderate blockages in heart arteries. If you have stable chest pain or a positive stress test and a moderate narrowing, this study may help guide your care.
This study uses a new type of PET/MR scan (FAPI) to look at inflammation in the heart shortly after a heart attack. It may help doctors understand recovery better and guide future treatments.
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 trial is testing a new imaging method (68Ga-FAPI PET/CMR) to better see and understand heart problems. It might help doctors diagnose or monitor conditions like heart failure or inflammation.
This study tests a new imaging scan (called 18F-FAPI PET/CT) that may help detect scarring in the lungs, heart, or blood vessels. If you have a heart, lung, or blood vessel condition that could cause scarring, this scan might show damage earlier and help doctors plan better treatment.
