Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with coronary artery disease who are treated with the Essential Pro paclitaxel‑eluting coronary balloon and can provide informed consent are eligible.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients not treated with the Essential Pro device or those unable to give informed consent will not benefit from participation.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This is a single-center, prospective, non-randomized post-market clinical follow-up enrolling all consecutive patients treated with the Essential Pro device according to routine hospital practice and the device instructions for use. The protocol captures device and procedural technical performance and safety at the end of the lesion treatment and during a follow-up period defined by the relevant Notified Body. Collected outcomes include device effectiveness, procedural success, and device- or procedure-related adverse events. Data are intended to support compliance with EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) post-market clinical follow-up requirements.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the results could reassure patients and clinicians that the Essential Pro device performs reliably and has an acceptable safety profile in real-world use.
How similar studies have gone: Post-market follow-up of paclitaxel‑eluting coronary devices has been done previously with mixed results, so this registry adds real-world safety and performance data to an existing but not definitive literature base.
