This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
After you have a stent placed in your heart artery to open a blocked vessel, doctors need to monitor you for problems. This trial is testing whether a specialized heart scan called coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) — taken one year after your stent placement — helps catch problems earlier and improves your long-term health compared to standard checkup care alone.
Even with the best medications and lifestyle changes, some patients with complex heart disease or high-risk conditions continue to have serious heart problems after stent placement. Current guidelines don't recommend routine screening scans in patients without symptoms, but doctors aren't sure if this approach is best — this trial is testing whether a planned scan can help prevent problems before they start.

If you join this trial, you'll be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive a specialized heart CT scan (CCTA) one year after your stent placement; the other group will follow standard care with regular checkups and medications, with additional scans only if your symptoms change. Both groups will be closely monitored for heart problems and followed for several years to see which approach works better.
