AI vs. invasive heart test: which is better for stenting?
NCT ID NCT07329699
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares a new artificial intelligence (AI) method that uses X-ray images to guide heart artery stenting against the standard invasive method. About 2100 adults with narrowed heart arteries will be randomly assigned to one of the two approaches. The goal is to see if the AI method is as safe and effective at preventing major heart problems like heart attack or death.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Subject must be at least 19 years of age 2. Eligible for coronary angiography and/or percutaneous coronary intervention. 3. Chronic coronary syndrome or acute coronary syndrome (non-culprit vessels only) 4. Coronary artery disease in one or more native major epicardial vessels or their branches with reference vessel diameter of at least 2.5mm and with visually assessed coronary stenosis in which the physiological severity of the lesion is questionable (typically 40-90% diameter stenosis). 5. Subject who is able to understand risks, benefits and treatment alternatives and sign informed consent voluntarily. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients unable to provide informed consent 2. Patients with known intolerance to aspirin, P2Y12 inhibitors, or components of drug-eluting stents and drug-coated balloons 3. Patients with coronary artery bypass grafting 4. Patients who have non-cardiac co-morbid conditions with life expectancy \<1 year 5. Patients with cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest 6. Patients with severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction (ejection fraction \<30%) 7. Patients with severe valvular heart disease requiring open heart surgery 8. Pregnant or lactating women 9. Angiographic exclusion criteria * Culprit vessel of patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (target lesions in non-culprit vessel can be enrolled) * Chronic total occlusion (target lesions in vessels without chronic total occlusion can be enrolled) * Ostial stenosis in left man coronary artery or right coronary artery * Severe tortuosity of any target vessel * Severe overlap in the stenosed segment * Poor image quality precluding identification of vessel contours
