NCT ID NCT06089486

First seen May 11, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study tests if a noninvasive PET scan is as good as the standard invasive angiogram for monitoring heart transplant patients for a common complication called cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV), which narrows heart arteries. About 576 adults who had a heart transplant 2-10 years ago will be randomly assigned to either PET or angiogram surveillance. The goal is to see if PET can safely reduce the need for invasive procedures while still catching serious problems like heart failure or death.
