NCT01110538 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: 2010-P-000387
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 2,714
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

Information will be collected prospectively in about 3,000 patients having Optical Coherence Tomography during cardiac catheterization. Subjects will be initially enrolled at sites outside of the United States, where Optical Coherence Tomography is approved by regulatory agencies. Subjects will be followed for up to 5 years.

Conditions

Coronary Artery Disease

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Major adverse cardiac events (MACE)

  1 year

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Subjects who have intracoronary OCT imaging performed during cardiac catheterization are eligible for this registry. Subjects may be identified prior to or after cardiac catheterization and OCT imaging.

You may qualify if:

• Subjects who have had OCT imaging performed during cardiac catheterization and have provided written consent

You may not qualify if:

• None
