Registry to track management and outcomes of patients with complex coronary artery disease

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The COMPLEX Registry aims to collect both baseline and clinical data from patients who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for complex and calcified coronary artery disease. This observational study will analyze procedural outcomes and complications, comparing results across different clinical subgroups. It will also assess the impact of various PCI techniques and CABG strategies on cardiovascular outcomes, including short and long-term clinical results. Data will be collected prospectively and retrospectively to provide a comprehensive overview of patient management and outcomes.
