Laser treatment for blocked heart arteries registry
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study collects information from patients with blocked heart arteries who receive a special laser treatment (ELCA) to open the blockage. It will help doctors understand how well this laser works in different situations.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be 18 years or older

- You are willing to be part of this registry to share your data
- You must be able to take blood thinners like clopidogrel, prasugrel, or ticagrelor

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a laser device that can help open severely narrowed or hardened heart arteries that are difficult to treat with balloons alone. It may be an option if standard balloon angioplasty is not working for you.
This study compares two ways to treat a heart stent that has narrowed again after already being treated with a drug-coated stent. One method uses a laser to open the blockage, and the other uses a balloon. If you've had this problem, the study aims to see which approach works better for keeping the vessel open.
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 follows adults with blocked heart arteries who are treated using a special type of balloon (drug-coated balloon) during a procedure. It aims to track real-world outcomes to better understand how well this treatment works for people with new blockages or previously treated vessel narrowing.
This trial is studying a special balloon coated with a drug that helps keep heart arteries open after they are cleared. It might be an option for people with narrowed heart arteries who need a less invasive treatment.
This trial compares different ways to treat serious heart artery blockages in people with a recent heart attack or unstable chest pain. It aims to see which revascularization approach works best when doctors think the heart arteries can be fully treated.
