Read our Coronary Artery Disease research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study compares two ways of placing stents in blocked heart arteries for patients with chronic kidney disease. One approach uses standard angiography (X-ray imaging), while the other uses intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)—a more detailed imaging technique that gives doctors a clearer view inside the blood vessel. The trial will follow nearly 1,500 patients for 12 months to see which approach leads to better long-term results.
People with chronic kidney disease who need heart stents have higher rates of complications and stent failure. Researchers want to know if the more detailed ultrasound imaging helps doctors place stents more precisely and safely in this vulnerable population.

If you enroll, you will receive a stent placement procedure guided by one of the two imaging methods—determined by random assignment. During the procedure, doctors will use either standard X-ray imaging or advanced ultrasound to guide stent placement and ensure it meets specific quality criteria. You will then return for follow-up visits over 12 months to monitor your heart health and check for any complications like stent failure or vessel problems.
