AI summary

From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.

The registry is looking for adults with coronary artery disease who have moderately to severely calcified lesions in their heart arteries and are having a heart artery procedure (PCI) with an orbital atherectomy device.

Age

18 years or older

Sex

All sexes can join.

Disease stage

Moderately to severely calcified lesions in the coronary arteries.

Earlier treatment

People whose target vessel was perforated after an earlier unsuccessful lesion preparation cannot join.

Main reasons for not taking part

• No patient consent
• Target vessel perforation due to previous unsuccessful lesion preparation
• Pregnancy

The registry criteria, word for word

What the trial wants to find out

The Lower Silesian Orbital Atherectomy Registry (LOAR), is an observational registry collecting all consecutive cases of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) performed with the support of the Orbital Atherectomy Device due to the presence of calcified lesion in coronary arteries. Data will be collected in two cooperating cardiac centers (Department of Cardiology, The Copper Health Center, Lubin, Poland, and Department of Cardiology, Provincial Specialized Hospital in Legnica, Poland).

The group in the trial

• OA Intervention

  All consecutive patients with moderate/ severely calcified coronary lesions who underwent PCI facilitated by the Orbital Atherectomy The decision to perform orbital atherectomy was left to the operator's dissertation after the detection of a moderate/severely calcified lesion. Angiographic calcification was classified as moderate when it involved between 30% and 50% of the reference lesion diameter, and severe when it occupied over 50% of the reference diameter. When the initial assessment was based on IVUS finding lesion had to reach at least 2 points in the IVUS calcium score. There were no angiographic exclusion criteria regarding lesion anatomy such as the length, tortuosity, severity, or location. All procedural features(use additional lesion preparation technique; stent implantation parameters, periprocedural pharmacological therapy, use of intravascular imaging along with the left ventricular support device) were left to the discretion of the operator.
