Summary

This study tests whether using a CT scan to plan a heart stent procedure (PCI) makes it faster, safer, and more effective than the usual approach. About 200 adults with coronary artery disease will either get CT-guided planning or standard care. Researchers will compare procedure time, radiation exposure, and contrast dye use, and follow participants for one year.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA)-guided procedural planning
What this could lead to: If successful, this could make coronary stenting faster, safer, and more precise by using CT scans to plan the procedure beforehand.
What could go wrong: This is an early-stage feasibility study with only 200 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The CT-based plan may not always match what the doctor sees during the procedure.
