Measuring heart artery blockages before stenting
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how well a wire can measure blood flow and pressure inside a narrowed heart artery before a stent is placed. It aims to see if more detailed measurements can help guide treatment and improve outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You have a blocked heart artery that needs a stent, as confirmed by a pressure wire test.
- You have not had bypass heart surgery before.
- Your kidney function is not severely reduced.
- You are not allergic to certain medications used in the test (adenosine or acetylcholine).
- You are willing to attend follow-up visits and use a phone app during the study.

This study uses advanced imaging techniques to look at the build-up inside heart arteries in people with stable angina. It aims to help doctors understand and treat these blockages more accurately.
This trial is testing a new way to measure blood flow in the heart during exercise to better understand angina. You may be eligible if you have at least two blocked heart arteries and are scheduled for stent placement.
This study looks at real-world outcomes for people with narrowed heart arteries (coronary artery disease). It may include those treated with stents (PCI) or medicines. Doctors will use a special computer tool to measure the severity of blockages and track health over time.
This study checks how severely blocked a coronary artery is using measurements taken during a planned heart catheterization, to help guide whether and how to do a stent (PCI). It may help doctors choose the best treatment plan for people with about 70% or more narrowing.
This Phase 4 study tests a way to measure blood flow in heart arteries to help doctors choose the best stent plan. It may help improve safety and effectiveness for people having elective heart stent procedures for stable angina or certain heart attacks.
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.
