First seen May 14, 2026 · Last updated May 21, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study is a registry that will enroll about 816 adults with coronary artery disease. It compares two imaging techniques: a CT scan of the heart (CCTA) and a more detailed internal camera (OCT) placed inside the arteries. The goal is to see how well the CT scan can identify dangerous plaque and help plan treatment, potentially reducing the need for more invasive procedures.
