Better imaging to guide complex heart artery procedures
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether using advanced imaging inside the heart arteries during complex procedures leads to better outcomes compared to current standard practice. If you have had a complex angioplasty (PCI) and your data is in a national heart registry, you may be included.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had a heart artery procedure (PCI) for a complex blockage.
- Your information is recorded in the Netherlands Heart Registration database.
- Your lesion met one of several complexity criteria, such as left main disease, severe calcification, chronic total occlusion, ostial lesion, long lesion, bifurcation lesion, or in-stent restenosis.
- Your procedure was not a simple (non-complex) PCI.

This study watches how people with complex or calcified heart artery disease are treated (with stents or bypass surgery) and how they do over time. It aims to learn which treatments work best for tough blockages.
This trial is testing whether a special heart CT scan (coronary CT angiography) can help doctors better understand and treat calcium buildup in your heart arteries. If you have a type of heart disease that might need a stent or other procedure, this study could help decide the best approach.
This study tracks patients with weakened heart function who undergo complex stent procedures (PCI) instead of open-heart surgery. Researchers will follow your progress to understand how well these procedures work in patients who are too sick for traditional bypass surgery.
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 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 uses a type of imaging called OCT to look inside heart arteries and help doctors decide the best treatment for people with certain types of coronary heart disease. It aims to see if this advanced imaging can improve outcomes.
