Resorbable Magnesium Scaffolds Registry
This study is a registry, which means it collects information about how certain heart devices, called Resorbable Magnesium Scaffolds (RMS), are used in real people. These devices, specifically Magmaris and Freesolve, are for individuals with coronary artery disease, a condition where the blood vessels supplying the heart become narrowed. The registry aims to understand how well these devices work and how safe they are in a day-to-day setting, just as they are meant to be used. It follows common European heart health guidelines and includes anyone who would normally receive these devices according to their instructions. It's a way for doctors to learn more about these new treatments in a straightforward way, helping to improve care for heart patients.
At a glance
What is this study about?
This study is like a watchful eye on new heart treatments. It's called a 'registry,' which means it collects information about how certain devices, called Resorbable Magnesium Scaffolds (RMS), are actually used in people with coronary artery disease. Coronary artery disease is a common condition where the blood vessels that deliver blood to your heart become narrowed, often due to a build-up of fatty deposits.
The specific devices being looked at here are Magmaris and Freesolve. These are special types of supports designed to help keep your arteries open and then, over time, they dissolve in your body. The goal of this study is to see how well these dissolving supports work and if they are safe when used in everyday medical practice, outside of a strictly controlled research setting. It means doctors are observing how patients who receive these devices are doing in the real world.
By collecting this information, doctors and researchers can learn a lot about these new devices. This helps them understand if the devices are performing as expected and if there are any common issues. This kind of study is important because it helps improve the way we treat heart disease, ensuring that new treatments are both effective and safe for patients like you.
Key takeaways
- This study collects real-world data on new dissolving heart supports (Magmaris, Freesolve).
- It aims to understand how well these devices work and how safe they are for patients with coronary artery disease.
- Participation involves simply allowing your medical information from routine care to be collected.
- There are no extra tests, visits, or treatments involved beyond your standard medical care.
- Your contribution helps improve our understanding and care for heart conditions.
Who may be eligible?
This study is for adults aged 18 and over who have been diagnosed with coronary artery disease. There are no upper age limits, so elderly patients are also welcome to be included.
To be considered for this study, you would typically be a patient who your doctor believes would benefit from and receive one of the specific dissolving heart supports (Magmaris or Freesolve) as part of your standard treatment.
There aren't many strict exclusion criteria beyond what your doctor would normally consider when deciding if these devices are right for you. Generally, if your doctor is already planning to use one of these devices for your heart condition, you might be included in this registry.
Could this study suit you?
Answer these quick questions to see if you may be eligible. This is a guide only — the research team makes the final call.
- Are you 18 years old or older?
- Have you been diagnosed with coronary artery disease?
- Is your doctor planning to treat your condition using a Magmaris or Freesolve dissolving heart support?
- Are you able to attend your regular follow-up appointments as advised by your doctor?
What does participation involve?
If you are included in this registry, it largely involves your doctors collecting information about your treatment and progress as part of your regular medical care. You wouldn't be asked to do anything extra that isn't already part of your usual follow-up schedule after receiving a heart device.
This means your participation would involve attending your routine doctor appointments and any planned check-ups related to your heart condition and the device. Your doctors would then record information about how the device is working and how you are feeling, following their normal procedures. There are no additional study visits, medications, or specific assessments beyond what your doctor would typically recommend for your ongoing care. The total duration of your involvement would depend on how long your doctors normally follow patients after they receive such a device.
