Complex and calcified coronary artery disease: a registry study
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This study watches how people with complex or calcified heart artery disease are treated (with stents or bypass surgery) and how they do over time. It aims to learn which treatments work best for tough blockages.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You have complicated or heavily calcified blockages in your heart arteries that need treatment like stenting (angioplasty) or bypass surgery.
- Your heart disease includes at least one of these: long or very calcified blockages, re-narrowing inside a previous stent, a completely blocked artery (CTO), a blocked left main artery, a blockage at a branch point (bifurcation), a blockage in a bypass graft, or small vessel disease not suitable for stenting.
- You are willing to sign a consent form agreeing to be in the study.

This study collects information on patients who have complex heart artery procedures at the University Hospital in Basel, to track how well these treatments work and how safe they are.
This study looks at a new way to place stents in blocked heart arteries that are at a branching point. It aims to improve blood flow and reduce the risk of the blockage coming back, compared to standard methods.
This study looks at whether using advanced imaging inside the heart arteries during complex procedures leads to better outcomes compared to current standard practice. If you have had a complex angioplasty (PCI) and your data is in a national heart registry, you may be included.
This study looks at real-world outcomes for people with narrowed heart arteries (coronary artery disease). It may include those treated with stents (PCI) or medicines. Doctors will use a special computer tool to measure the severity of blockages and track health over time.
This study is testing a technique to treat heavily calcified (hard) blockages in heart arteries. The goal is to see if a special way of preparing the blockage before placing a stent helps improve blood flow to the tiny blood vessels in the heart muscle.
This study compares people with very severe coronary artery disease to those without significant disease, using heart imaging data. It aims to understand what differs between extreme cases and how that information could guide future care.
