Study of a new way to check branch blockages after stent placement
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have signs or a diagnosis of coronary artery disease (blockages in heart arteries) and need a special test called a coronary angiogram.
- Your doctor has found a 'true bifurcation lesion' – a blockage at a spot where one artery splits into two, such as in the main left artery or its branches.
- The blocked artery is at least 2.5 millimeters wide and the blockage reduces the space by 50% or more based on the angiogram.

This trial looks at people with a blockage in a heart artery of 50% or more. It tests a new way to check the blockage using a special CT scan. This could help decide the best treatment to prevent future heart problems.
This study follows people who have narrowed heart arteries and have a pressure test (FFR) to guide treatment. It may help doctors understand the course of disease when using FFR and choosing a minimally invasive approach.
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 compares new imaging methods to see how well they work and whether they can lower costs for people with suspected coronary artery disease. It may help by using different scan approaches while keeping patient safety in mind.
This trial tests a new imaging technique called μFR to help doctors decide which blockages in your heart arteries need treatment after you've had a heart attack. It may help identify which blockages are most dangerous and need fixing soon versus those that can wait.
This study compares two advanced imaging methods (IVUS and FFR) to see which better identifies blockages that need treatment. It may help doctors decide the best care for people with chest pain or recent heart attacks.
