NAVIGATE-PCI: Using CT images to guide planning for elective stenting.

Official title: The NAVIGATE-PCI Registry: A New Approach to VIew CT-derived Guidance Ahead of Stenting To Plan Efficient PCI

Run by HeartFlow, Inc. · NCT07479433 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This registry will try CT-based PCI Navigator guidance to see if it helps cardiologists plan elective stenting for patients with stable coronary artery disease.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Clinically stable adults with coronary artery disease referred for elective PCI who had a diagnostic-quality coronary CT angiogram within 90 days and meet the registry's exclusion criteria.

Probably not a fit

Patients with acute chest pain or suspected ACS, those presenting via the emergency department, those with previous CABG, or those needing intervention in a previously stented vessel are excluded and would not be represented by this registry.

What this trial studies

This post-market, multi-center registry collects retrospective data from elective PCI procedures performed before and after sites adopt HeartFlow's PCI Navigator and complete operator training. Sites submit baseline demographics, medical history, procedural details, and in-hospital outcomes, with specific metrics including operator confidence, procedure time, contrast and radiation use, invasive imaging, and resource utilization. Eligible patients must have a diagnostic-quality coronary CT angiogram within 90 days and be clinically stable without suspected acute coronary syndrome; patients with prior CABG, planned intervention in previously stented vessels, ED presentation, or ongoing ACS are excluded. No post-discharge follow-up is collected and the registry observationally compares outcomes pre- and post-adoption rather than randomizing patients.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, it could help operators plan PCI more efficiently and safely, potentially reducing procedure time, contrast load, and radiation exposure for patients.

How similar studies have gone: Other CT-based planning tools and HeartFlow's prior CT-derived physiology methods have shown promising results for lesion assessment and planning, but using CT-guided navigation specifically to change PCI workflow is relatively new and has limited large-scale outcome data.
