Prospective Global Registry of Complications of Percutaneous Coronary Interventions
Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation
Summary
Coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is often performed in patients with ischemic heart disease. The safety of PCI has improved with new devices and strategies, but complications still occur, especially during complex procedures. The objectives of this multi-center observational registry are to examine frequency of complications occuring during cardiac catheterization and PCI, examine procedural strategies utilized for complication management, and evaluate the clinical outcomes (both immediate and during follow-up.)
Description
The safety of PCI has improved with new devices and strategies, but complications still occur, especially during complex procedures. Systematic study of cardiac procedure complications can improve procedural safety and optimize short and long-term patient outcomes. The objectives of this multi-center observational registry are to 1-Examine the frequency and types of complications occurring during cardiac catheterization and PCI among participating sites, 2-Examine the procedural strategies (techniques and devices) utilized for complication management, 3-Evaluate the clinical outcomes (both im…
