What this trial studies

The JDEPTH-LM Registry is a prospective, observational, multi-center initiative aimed at assessing the efficacy and safety of the Double-effect kissing balloon technique (W-KBT) in patients with left main coronary artery disease. Participants will undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using a combination of perfusion balloons and drug-coated balloons, with treatment decisions made by a local Heart Team. The study will continuously register cases and evaluate outcomes based on standard care protocols, ensuring informed consent is obtained from all participants.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with stable coronary artery disease or unstable angina and confirmed left main disease.

Not a fit: Patients who have had a recent ST-elevation myocardial infarction or are in cardiogenic shock may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve treatment outcomes for patients with left main coronary artery disease.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise with similar techniques in coronary interventions, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
