New imaging technique may improve stent outcomes in heart disease patients
NCT ID NCT03171311
First seen May 19, 2026 · Last updated May 19, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether using a special imaging tool called OCT during stent placement leads to better outcomes than standard methods for people with complex heart blockages. About 1,200 adults with stable or unstable angina or non-STEMI heart attacks are taking part. The goal is to see if OCT guidance reduces major heart problems like cardiac death, heart attacks, or the need for repeat procedures over two years.
