Advanced Heart Catheter Testing for Stent Patients With Chest Pain
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a detailed diagnostic procedure during heart catheterization for patients who previously had stents placed and now have chest pain or signs of heart stress. The goal is to better understand blood flow in treated arteries to guide treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Had a stent or special balloon placed in a heart artery in the past due to a heart attack or chronic heart disease
- Currently have chest pain or documented heart stress on non-invasive testing
- Referred for coronary angiography (heart catheterization)
- Age 18 or older and not pregnant
- No recent heart attack (STEMI or NSTEMI)
- No severe heart failure or very weak heart pumping (ejection fraction above 30%)

This trial is testing a new way to measure blood flow in the heart during exercise to better understand angina. You may be eligible if you have at least two blocked heart arteries and are scheduled for stent placement.
This study looks at why some people still have chest pain (angina) even after a successful heart stent procedure (PCI). You will have a heart MRI (stress CMR) before the stent procedure, and doctors will measure blood flow in your heart arteries during and after the procedure.
This study aims to match people with angina (chest pain from heart artery problems) to the most helpful treatment plan based on their test results. It’s done around the time doctors are planning an invasive heart scan to look at the coronary arteries.
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 looks at people who are being checked for possible heart artery–related chest or similar discomfort, but without major artery blockage (non-obstructive arteries). It aims to help doctors understand what might be causing symptoms and guide safer testing.
This study looks at why some people have chest pain or other heart symptoms even when their main heart arteries are not blocked. It tests whether inflammation in the small blood vessels of the heart might cause these symptoms, and aims to understand how to better diagnose and treat this condition.
