COMPLEX Registry - a Prospective COhort Study to Describe the Management and Outcomes of Patients Presenting with CompLEX and Calcified Coronary Artery Disease
The purpose of the COMPLEX Registry is to prospectively and retrospectively collect baseline, clinical and procedural data of patients who have undergone PCI or CABG for complex and/ or calcified chronic CAD, irrespective of clinical presentation as well as to prospectively collect data about their clinical outcomes. The outcomes will be compared in different clinical subgroups (e.g. PCI vs. CABG). The impact of current PCI techniques/ devices, but also CABG strategies in different clinical settings and coronary artery lesions on cardiovascular outcomes will be assessed.
• Subject \>18 years of age
• Individuals presenting with chronic, complex and/or calcified CAD and requiring PCI or CABG
• Complex coronary artery disease / lesions must include at least one of the following attributes:
• Long and/ or heavily calcified coronary lesions
• In-stent restenosis
• Chronic total occlusions (CTO)
• Left main lesions
• Bifurcation lesions
• Bypass graft lesions
• Small vessel disease / coronary microvascular dysfunction (e.g. not amenable to PCI)
• Subjects must be willing to sign a patient informed consent (PIC) or must have signed the General Consent (GK).
