New ultrasound tool could spare heart attack patients a second procedure
NCT ID NCT07264881
First seen Dec 08, 2025 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 27 times
Summary
This study is testing a new tool called UFR, which uses ultrasound images to measure blockages in heart arteries during a heart attack. Currently, the most accurate method requires patients to return 30 days later for a second invasive procedure. The study will enroll 200 heart attack patients and follow them for one year to see if UFR can provide reliable measurements right away, potentially saving patients from an extra procedure.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
IVUS-based Fractional Flow Reserve (UFR) - a diagnostic test using ultrasound images to measure blockages
What this could lead to
If successful, this could allow doctors to assess all blockages during the initial heart attack procedure, eliminating the need for a second invasive test 30 days later.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with only 200 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The new tool might not be accurate enough to replace the current gold standard.
