Measuring blood flow after stent placement for heart attack patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to measure blood flow in narrowed arteries after you've had a stent placed for a heart attack. It may help doctors decide if you need more treatment to prevent future heart problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a heart attack and received a stent within the last 72 hours.
- You have at least one other narrowed artery that could be treated with a stent.
- Your kidney function is not severely reduced.
- You are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
- You do not have severe heart failure or cardiogenic shock.
- You can provide informed consent.

This trial studies whether doing a planned, staged treatment for some artery blockages after a heart attack can improve outcomes. It uses detailed images of the heart arteries and compares results in people who are stable after their initial emergency procedure.
This study tests a new way to measure blood flow after placing a stent, using a very thin wire with a camera. It helps doctors decide if the stent is working well without needing extra medication like adenosine—just a tiny dose of nitroglycerin. You may qualify if you have blockages in two or more heart arteries and are already scheduled for a stent procedure.
This study uses a new method during a routine heart catheterization to measure resistance in the heart arteries and the tiny blood vessels. It helps doctors understand if a treatment like stents or medication would be best for your heart.
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 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 trial compares two ways of measuring blood flow inside the heart arteries (IVUS vs FFR) to help decide which non–culprit artery narrowings need a stent after a recent heart attack. It may help doctors choose the best targets for PCI and avoid unnecessary procedures.
