New approach to plan stent placement using CT scans
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a special heart CT scan (CCTA) within the last 90 days that was good quality
- You are scheduled to have a planned (not emergency) stent procedure
- You are clinically stable and do not have symptoms of a heart attack at the time of your procedure
- You are not being seen in the emergency room for this procedure
- You have not had coronary artery bypass surgery in the past
- You are not having a stent placed in an area that already has a stent

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 study tests whether using a tiny pressure sensor in heart arteries during a procedure can better guide where to place a stent. It may help doctors choose the safest and most effective stent plan by more accurately measuring artery narrowing.
This trial tests if using a special heart CT scan (CCTA with FFRCT) before a planned angioplasty can help doctors better plan where to place stents. You may be eligible if you have a narrowing in one or two heart arteries that haven't been treated before.
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 uses an AI tool to read CT scans of your heart. The goal is to see if it can help prevent future heart problems by guiding treatment in people who already had a stent or a heart attack.
This trial tests whether a CT scan of the heart arteries is a safe and effective alternative to standard follow-up tests in people who have had a stent or drug-coated balloon placed in a high-risk coronary artery. It may help reduce the need for additional invasive procedures.
