About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Myocardial Viability in Late Presentation Myocardial Infarction: Dual Energy Cardiac CT vs. Cardiac MRI.

The purpose of this study is therefore to show that associated with cardiac angiography echocardiography, in myocardial seen late, would provide the information necessary for the decision revascularization, in a timely manner.

This would allow the patient to avoid duplication of tests including risk related to coronary angiography (bleeding complications, stroke ...) and those related to the implantation of coronary stent (stent) without expected earnings in case of non-viability . This would also reduce the length of hospital stay and costs due to numerous reviews.

Read the detailed description

Percutaneous coronary intervention is not recommended in stable patients with late presentation myocardial infarction, and myocardial viability needs to be evaluated before the procedure. The aim of the study is to evaluate the sensibility and specificity of dual-energy CT for the evaluation of myocardial viability in comparison to cardiac MRI.

The experimental procedure is limited to a second CT acquisition performed 10 minutes in dual energy mode.

Sensitivity and Specificity of delayed enhancement >50% of myocardial thickness provided by dual-energy CT will be evaluated in comparison to cardiac MRI.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • second propeller arm scannerRadiation

    The experimental procedure is to conduct a second helical scanner strictly centered on the heart, 10 minutes after the first helix without inject contrast medium, to assess late enhancement.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of patient with a possible evaluation of myocardial viability using dual-energy cardiac CT

    To study the sensitivity of dual-energy cardiac CT for the evaluation of myocardial viability, in patients with late presentation myocardial infarction.

    Measured: Day 4

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing second propeller arm scanner in people with Myocardial Infarction, run by University Hospital, Rouen at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Apr 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Replacement of the General Electric Healthcare DISCOVERY 750 HD CT scanner (the project's experimental device) in the medical imaging department with a new CT scanner). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of patient with a possible evaluation of myocardial viability using dual-energy cardiac CT (time frame: Day 4). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Apr 2026.
