New treatment option for Coronary Artery Disease
Official title QFR-Guided Virtual Stenting for Preprocedural Physiological Optimization of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Randomized Controlled Trial
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07635407
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Coronary angiography-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains the standard treatment strategy for patients with coronary artery disease; however, suboptimal post-PCI physiological outcomes remain common and are associated with adverse cardiovascular prognosis. Quantitative Flow Ratio (QFR)-based virtual stenting technology enables simulation of post-intervention coronary physiology before PCI and may facilitate individualized optimization of stent implantation strategies.

Who can take part
Ages 18 and older
You may be able to join if
- Age ≥18 years.
- Diagnosis of coronary artery disease requiring percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) according to current clinical practice.
- Presence of at least one target coronary lesion considered suitable for PCI and evaluable by angiography-derived Quantitative Flow Ratio (QFR).
- Ability to undergo coronary angiography and PCI. Provision of written informed consent before study participation.
You likely can't join if
- Contraindications to PCI or inability to undergo coronary intervention. Severe renal dysfunction or other conditions making angiographic procedures...
- High bleeding risk judged by investigators.
- Inability to complete follow-up or comply with study procedures.
- Life expectancy less than 1 year due to non-cardiovascular comorbidities.
- Participation in another treatment clinical trial that may interfere with study outcomes.
- Coronary anatomy unsuitable for QFR-based virtual stenting analysis.
