The Latin American Registry of Percutaneous Coronary Bifurcations continues to develop at a steady pace.
The aim of this prospective multicenter registry is to assess the reality of percutaneous coronary bifurcation to define its needs and establish effective strategies to perfect the daily clinical practice.
Bellow you will find data from February 2021, which includes all patients enrolled by the different Latin American centers taking part in the register.
February data
So far, the registry has included 157 patients of mean age 65.65 (+- 11.35): 86,1% men, and 13,9% women.
Among the risk factors, we have found 82,4% had a history of hypertension, 76,9% dyslipidemia, 12,8% were smokers, 17,6% had type 2 diabetes and 1,6% had type 1 diabetes. In addition, 42,8% had prior PCI, 5,9% prior CABG and 27,3% prior MI.
Of all included patients, 37,4% presented chromic coronary syndrome, 26,7% unstable angina, 17,1% Non-ST acute myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), 11,2% were asymptomatic (silent ischemia) 7,5% ST elevation MI (STEMI).
As regards clinical indications, 55,1% received elective indication, 35,8% urgent indication and 9,1% emergency indication.
83,3% of vascular access was transradial (proximal), 3,2% transradial (distal) and12, 13,4% femoral.
As to the initial strategy, 73,3% was the provisional stent technique and 26,7% the two stent technique.
