New scan could help decide who benefits from heart surgery
NCT ID NCT07657650
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether a special type of imaging called FAPI can better predict how much heart function will improve after bypass surgery or stenting in people with ischemic heart failure. Researchers will follow 122 patients for 12 months, measuring changes in heart pumping ability and tracking major heart events. The goal is to see if FAPI imaging provides more useful information than current methods.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could give doctors a more reliable imaging test to decide which heart failure patients will benefit from bypass surgery or stenting.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The imaging method may not prove better than existing tests, and results may not change clinical practice.
