Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include adults aged 19 and older with stable angina or acute coronary syndrome and 50-90% stenosis in coronary arteries.

Probably not a fit

Patients with single vessel disease, previous coronary artery bypass grafting, or poor coronary blood flow may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a dynamic coronary roadmap system during coronary angiography in patients with significant coronary artery stenosis. It aims to improve the accuracy and efficiency of measuring fractional flow reserve (FFR) and instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) by utilizing advanced software to visualize the coronary anatomy. Patients with stable angina or acute coronary syndrome will be included, and the study will assess how the roadmap can enhance the procedural outcomes compared to traditional methods. The goal is to determine if this innovative approach can streamline the evaluation process and improve patient management.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to more accurate assessments of coronary artery disease, potentially improving treatment decisions and patient outcomes.

How similar studies have gone: While there are no prior studies specifically evaluating the dynamic roadmap system in this context, similar approaches using advanced imaging techniques have shown promise in improving coronary assessments.
