NCT ID NCT05818475

First seen May 01, 2026 · Last updated Jun 07, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

This study compares two methods to decide which blocked arteries to treat in heart attack patients who have multiple blockages. The new method uses a special imaging technique (functional angiography) to measure blood flow, while the standard method relies on regular X-ray images. The goal is to see if the new method reduces the risk of death, another heart attack, stroke, or the need for further procedures. About 1,800 patients are participating in this research.
