Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with coronary artery disease who are clinically indicated for robotic-assisted PCI.

Probably not a fit

Patients experiencing STEMI or cardiogenic shock, or those deemed unsuitable for robotic-assisted PCI, may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

The CHANGE registry aims to assess the real-world performance and safety of the R-One robotic system during Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) for patients with coronary artery disease. This observational study will involve 500 patients across up to 15 centers in Europe and South Africa, utilizing the R-One system to assist in the delivery and manipulation of coronary guidewires and stent/balloon devices. The R-One system is not autonomous and operates under the direct commands of the operator, ensuring controlled intervention. The study will provide valuable data on the clinical benefits and safety profile of this innovative technology.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the safety and effectiveness of PCI procedures for patients with coronary artery disease.

How similar studies have gone: While robotic-assisted PCI is a developing field, this specific approach with the R-One system is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
