New study tests if advanced imaging during heart stent surgery helps people with diabetes live longer
NCT ID NCT06380868
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two ways to place heart stents in people with diabetes: one using special imaging (IVUS or OCT) and the other using standard X-ray. The goal is to see if the imaging method reduces heart-related deaths, heart attacks, or the need for repeat procedures. About 1,332 adults with diabetes who need a stent will take part.
