NCT ID NCT03171311

Ongoing Disease control Sponsor: Aarhus University Hospital Skejby Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether using a special imaging tool called OCT during stent placement leads to fewer heart problems over two years compared to standard methods. About 1,200 adults with blocked heart arteries that need complex stenting are taking part. The goal is to see if OCT guidance reduces the risk of heart-related death, heart attacks, or the need for repeat procedures.
