Registry of patients undergoing coronary interventions with shockwave therapy

Evaluation of the Safety and Efficiency of ShockWave Intravascular Lithotripsy (S-IVL) in Coronary Artery Diseases. The Lower Silesia Shockwave Registry (LSSR)

Observational Regional Cardiology Center, The Copper Health Centre (MCZ), · NCT05916898

This study is collecting information on patients with hard blockages in their heart arteries who are getting a new shockwave treatment to see how safe and effective it is.

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.

Who should consider this trial

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

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

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 performed: 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.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

* The presence of moderately to severely calcified lesions.
* The presence of significant under-expansion (greater than 20% of the diameter) of the previously implanted stent.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Lack of patient consent
* Target vessel dissection type 3 or higher according to spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) classification
