Decision Aid for Coronary Artery Anomalies
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study creates a tool to help patients and families with a rare heart condition called R-AAOCA (right anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery) make informed decisions about their care. The tool aims to improve understanding and shared decision-making between patients and doctors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a new, faster way to diagnose an uncommon heart condition where one of the main arteries (the coronary artery) starts from the wrong place on the aorta. The goal is to help doctors find and treat it sooner.
This is a European registry for people with an anomalous origin of a coronary artery from the aorta (AAOCA). It will track how the condition is treated—whether with surgery or monitoring—to learn what works best.
This study is testing a new tool to help patients and doctors decide together on the best procedure (like stents or bypass surgery) for blocked heart arteries. It aims to make the decision process clearer and more personalized.
This study follows adults who have a coronary artery anomaly and are getting a medically needed heart test at the study hospital. Researchers collect information from those tests to better understand outcomes and what different findings mean.
This study is testing an online tool called 'My Heart and CKD' that helps people with both chronic kidney disease and heart disease make decisions about their care. The goal is to see if it is easy to use and helpful for patients and their doctors.
This study compares standard care to a decision aid, coaching, and AI support to help parents make treatment decisions for their child with ADHD. It aims to see which approach better supports caregivers.
