Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are patients with moderately to severely calcified lesions or significant under-expansion of previously implanted stents.

Probably not a fit

Patients who lack consent, have severe vessel dissection, or are pregnant may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

The Lower Silesia Shockwave Registry collects data on consecutive cases of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) that utilize shockwave intravascular lithotripsy across two cardiac centers in Poland. Patients included in the registry have either highly calcified lesions or significantly under-expanded stents, and the study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this innovative approach. The decision-making process for lesion preparation is left to the operators, allowing for flexibility in treatment strategies. This observational registry will provide valuable insights into the outcomes of these procedures in real-world settings.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this registry could enhance the understanding of shockwave therapy's effectiveness in treating complex coronary artery conditions.

How similar studies have gone: While the use of shockwave therapy in coronary interventions is emerging, this registry approach is relatively novel and aims to gather comprehensive data on its application.
