ClinConnect Summary

The 3D Stent Study is a research project aimed at understanding how well a new technology called 3D Stent can detect whether a heart stent is properly expanded in patients with coronary artery disease. This condition often requires a procedure called percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), where a stent is placed in a blocked artery to help improve blood flow. The study will compare the effectiveness of this new 3D Stent technology to traditional imaging methods used during PCI to ensure that the stent is working correctly.

To participate in this study, patients need to be between the ages of 65 and 74 and have certain heart conditions, either chronic (long-term) or acute (sudden) coronary syndromes, that require a PCI procedure guided by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). However, individuals who are under 18, have specific health issues, or cannot provide consent will not be eligible. While the study is not yet recruiting participants, those who join can expect to help researchers understand how to better assess stent placement, potentially leading to improved treatment options for patients with heart disease in the future.
