Official title
Turkish Isolated Coronary Ectasia Prospective Cohort Study: the T-ICE Registry
Overview
The T-ICE study is a prospective, observational study aiming to have information about the treatment and long-term prognosis of patients with isolated coronary artery ectasia.
Detailed description
Coronary artery ectasia is a localized or diffuse enlargement of the coronary artery lumen ≥1.5-2 times relative to the normal segment. It is often associated with coronary artery stenosis. Some patients have coronary artery ectasia without stenosis. This condition is called as isolated coronary artery ectasia. There is data other than retrospective studies with a small number of cases on the clinical significance, prognosis and treatment of isolated coronary ectasia in patients with or without acute coronary syndrome. Therefore, the treatment of patients with isolated coronary ectasia is not evidence-based and is based on the clinical judgment of physicians. The aim of this prospective observational study is to evaluate the treatment and prognosis of the isolated coronary artery ectasia. The second aim is to compare the prognosis of isolated coronary ectasia with the coronary artery disease.
Primary outcome measures
- Major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events [Time frame: Five years]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
- Major adverse cardiovascular events [Time frame: Five years]
