Comparing imaging-guided and angiography-guided procedures for heart stent placement

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using both optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fractional flow reserve (FFR) in guiding percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) for patients with coronary artery disease. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the combined imaging approach or the conventional angiography-guided method during their stent implantation procedures. The study seeks to determine if the concurrent use of OCT and FFR leads to better clinical outcomes compared to traditional methods. By comparing these two strategies, the trial hopes to provide insights into optimizing treatment for coronary artery disease.
