Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18) who self-identify as a US census-defined minority and require PCI for complex lesions suitable for current stents or balloons.

Probably not a fit

Patients without complex lesions or who do not identify as a minority may not experience additional benefit from this approach.

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 multicenter, prospective registry enrolling up to 1010 adults over two years to observe outcomes after IVUS-guided PCI for complex coronary lesions. It focuses on safety and clinical outcomes in a US minority population. All participants receive IVUS-guided PCI using FDA-approved drug-eluting stents or drug-coated balloons, with follow-up through 2 years. The study is observational and single-arm, without randomization. Enrollment spans multiple centers including Banner Health, Loma Linda University Health, and Baptist Health, with support from ECRI bv and industry collaborators.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the registry could clarify real-world safety and outcomes of IVUS-guided PCI in minority patients with complex lesions.

How similar studies have gone: Prior studies using IVUS guidance have shown favorable outcomes in complex lesions, but data in minority populations remain limited, making this a relatively novel setting.
