Heart attack prevention: could routine CT scans after stents save lives?
NCT ID NCT07009418
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a follow-up CT scan of the heart's arteries (coronary CT angiography) one year after stent placement can reduce major heart problems like heart attacks or death compared to usual care. It will enroll 3,500 high-risk patients who have had stents placed for blocked arteries. The goal is to see if early detection of new blockages via CT leads to better outcomes.

- Active substance
- Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) imaging test
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that routine CT scans after stent placement help catch problems early and reduce heart attacks or deaths.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational comparison, not a treatment test. The results may not change current practice if CCTA leads to unnecessary procedures or anxiety.
