AI heart model may help doctors place stents faster
NCT ID NCT07479433
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This registry study is testing a new AI tool called Heartflow PCI Navigator that creates a 3D model of a patient's heart arteries. Doctors use it to plan where to place stents to open blocked arteries. The study will enroll 5,000 people with coronary artery disease who are scheduled for a stent procedure. Researchers want to see if the tool changes the doctor's plan and improves the procedure.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Heartflow PCI Navigator (AI-driven diagnostic software)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this tool could help doctors plan stent procedures more quickly and accurately, potentially reducing procedure time and contrast use.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a randomized trial, so it cannot prove the tool improves patient outcomes. The results may not apply to all patients or settings.

Who is studied
Deidentified data will be collected for all patients included in the registry who had a CCTA with acceptable image quality prior to elective PCI and are included by the site in the registry. Patients with prior CABG or patients with intervention planned in a previously stented vessel territory are excluded.

Inclusion Criteria (all must be present): 1. CCTA completed ≤90 days prior to elective PCI with acceptable image quality according to Heartflow's image quality requirements 2. Referred for elective PCI 3. Clinically stable without symptoms suggestive of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) at the time of the intervention Exclusion Criteria (all must be present): 1. ED presentation (at the time of the referral for PCI) 2. Previous coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) 3. Planned intervention in a previously stented vessel territory 4. Acute chest pain (in patients who have not been ruled out for ACS) 5. Participating in a conflicting study being undertaken during the PCI
