Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include patients with silent ischemia, stable or unstable angina, or myocardial infarction who have de novo coronary lesions suitable for drug-eluting stent implantation.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with significant comorbidities, intolerances to antithrombotic therapy, or specific lesion characteristics that are not analyzable by MPXA may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This interventional study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of Medipixel XA-Assisted Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (MPXA-PCI) in patients with coronary artery disease. It aims to enroll 830 patients with de novo coronary lesions eligible for drug-eluting stent implantation, assessing procedural success rates and clinical outcomes in a real-world setting. Participants will undergo MPXA-assisted lesion assessment to optimize treatment selection, with primary outcomes focusing on target vessel failure at 12 months. Secondary outcomes include procedural success, angiographic results, and complications.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could improve the safety and effectiveness of heart artery procedures for patients with coronary artery disease.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies utilizing advanced imaging and AI-assisted techniques in PCI have shown promising results, suggesting potential for success in this novel approach.
