Predicting heart outcomes after stent placement
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at whether information from heart scans taken during stent placement can help predict future heart problems. If you've already had a stent placed under OCT guidance, participating could help improve care for others.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old and younger than 85.
- You must have had a stent placed in a heart artery, and the procedure must have been guided by a special imaging test called OCT (optical coherence tomography).
- You must not have had the stent placed during a severe type of heart attack called a STEMI.
- You must not have severe heart failure or a very weak heart pump.
- You must not have had bypass surgery in the past.
- You must not have any serious condition that could shorten your life to less than a year.

This study looks at reasons doctors may or may not use a special camera inside the heart arteries (called OCT or IVUS) during a procedure to open blocked arteries. It may help understand how to improve care for people with complex blockages.
This trial tests whether implanting stents in non-obstructive, high-risk plaques (thin-capped fatty plaques) can prevent future heart attacks. It is for people who have already had treatment for a recent heart attack or unstable angina and have additional plaques that are not severely blocking blood flow but are vulnerable.
This trial tests whether using computer software to virtually plan stent placement before your heart procedure leads to better outcomes. The goal is to optimize how stents are positioned in your coronary arteries.
This study uses artificial intelligence to predict how heart arteries might change after a stent procedure (PCI). Researchers will collect blood samples and medical data to develop a tool that could help doctors make better treatment decisions.
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 studies whether special heart measurements and detailed artery scans (OCT) can better confirm how well a stent procedure worked in people with a blocked coronary artery (CTO). It may help doctors check treatment results more precisely after PCI.
