Read our Coronary Artery Disease research guide →This trial is testing whether a computer-based measurement tool called µQFR can accurately detect remaining blockages in heart arteries after stent placement. The study focuses on a particularly tricky situation: when arteries branch and doctors place a stent in the main vessel, they want to know if the smaller branch artery is still blocked. This tool uses regular X-ray images to make that determination without additional invasive testing.
When doctors place stents in branching heart arteries, it's hard to know whether the smaller branch vessel is still blocked or functioning normally. Current methods to check this are invasive and time-consuming. This trial exists to see if µQFR—which works from standard X-ray images—could reliably answer this question and guide treatment decisions.

If you join this study, you will undergo heart imaging (angiography) as part of your standard care, and your imaging will be saved and analyzed by an independent lab using the µQFR tool. Doctors will place a stent in your main heart artery and may balloon-dilate the branch artery as needed. The computer tool will measure blood flow in both vessels before and after the procedure, though doctors performing the procedure won't see those results right away. The study simply tracks how well this new measurement method works compared to standard approaches.
