Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older with isolated coronary artery ectasia and no significant stenosis.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with a life expectancy of less than 24 months or those with significant coronary artery stenosis will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
The T-ICE Registry is a prospective, observational initiative designed to gather information on the treatment and long-term outcomes of patients diagnosed with isolated coronary artery ectasia. This condition involves the enlargement of coronary arteries without significant stenosis, and the study aims to fill the knowledge gap regarding its clinical significance and management. By evaluating treatment approaches and comparing the prognosis of isolated coronary artery ectasia with coronary artery disease, the registry seeks to provide valuable insights for clinicians. The study includes patients aged 18 and older, with or without acute coronary syndrome, who meet specific inclusion criteria.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved understanding and management of isolated coronary artery ectasia, enhancing patient care.
How similar studies have gone: While there have been retrospective studies on coronary artery ectasia, this prospective observational registry approach is relatively novel and aims to provide more comprehensive data.
