New camera could save hearts: OCTAVE trial tests smarter stent placement
Disease control ENROLLING_BY_INVITATIONThis study tests whether using a special camera (OCT) inside the heart's arteries during a heart attack procedure leads to better outcomes than the standard X-ray method. About 3000 people having a heart attack will be randomly assigned to one of the two approaches. The goal is t…

New imaging technique could improve stent outcomes in heart patients
Disease control OngoingThis study tests whether using a special imaging tool called OCT during stent placement leads to fewer heart problems over two years compared to standard methods. About 1,200 adults with blocked heart arteries that need complex stenting are taking part. The goal is to see if OCT …

Dissolvable heart stents may offer safer long-term fix for clogged arteries
Disease control OngoingThis study looks at whether new stents that dissolve over time can safely treat blocked heart arteries. Unlike permanent metal stents, these bioresorbable stents disappear after the artery heals, potentially reducing long-term risks. About 120 adults with stable heart disease wil…

Stent showdown: which heart device heals faster?
Disease control OngoingThis study compares two types of drug-coated stents (SYNERGY and BioMatrix NeoFlex) in 160 patients with coronary artery disease. Researchers use a special camera to check how well the stents heal inside the artery at 1 and 3 months after placement. The goal is to see which stent…
