ClinConnect Summary

The Progress Bifurcation Global Registry is a study focused on understanding how to best treat blockages in arteries, specifically where a main artery splits into smaller branches. These blockages, known as coronary bifurcation lesions, can be challenging to treat effectively. The study aims to gather information from multiple medical centers about the different methods used to treat these blockages and the results of those treatments. By doing this, researchers hope to learn more about how often these procedures are performed, which techniques are most effective, and what outcomes patients experience.

To participate in this study, individuals must be over 18 years old and undergoing a specific heart procedure called percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for a bifurcation lesion. Participants will be part of an observational registry, meaning their treatment and outcomes will be recorded and analyzed, but they will not be receiving a new treatment or medication as part of the study. This research will help improve future treatment strategies for patients with similar heart conditions.
