Virtual Stent Planning to Improve Heart Artery Procedures
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have coronary artery disease (narrowing of heart blood vessels) that needs a stent procedure
- Your heart artery blockage can be evaluated by special imaging (QFR analysis)
- You are able to have a heart catheterization procedure (small tube inserted to the heart)
- You can complete follow-up visits and understand study instructions
- You are willing to sign a consent form before the study begins

This trial is testing a robotic system to help with a procedure that opens blocked heart arteries. If you need a stent and fit the criteria, you may be able to join.
This study tracks patients with weakened heart function who undergo complex stent procedures (PCI) instead of open-heart surgery. Researchers will follow your progress to understand how well these procedures work in patients who are too sick for traditional bypass surgery.
This trial tests a new way of placing stents in heart arteries using a special ultrasound guidance. It may be a good option if you have a heart condition needing a stent and the area to be stented is not too long.
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 study compares how best to place a coronary stent (a small tube to keep an artery open) using modern techniques. It may help improve how safely and effectively stents are delivered in people with certain types of narrowed heart arteries.
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.
