Heart stent mystery: new diagnostic strategy could reveal hidden causes of Post-PCI angina
NCT ID NCT07638137
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will enroll 246 people who have had a heart stent but still experience chest pain. Researchers will use a detailed diagnostic approach during a heart catheterization to identify whether the pain is due to new blockages, incomplete treatment, or other issues. The goal is to better understand the root causes of post-stent angina and guide more effective treatment.
