Complex Coronary Lesions, Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Conditions
Brief summary
ULTRACOLOR is a randomized multicentre investigator-initiated study to investigate if ultrasound guided femoral access is associated with less clinically relevant access site related bleeding and/or vascular complications requiring intervention as compared to the fluoroscopy guided method for complex PCI with large-bore access.
Detailed description
ULTRACOLOR is a prospective, multicentre, randomized investigator-initiated trial designed to enroll 542 subjects with an indication for PCI for complex coronary lesions. This study will investigate if ultrasound guided femoral access is associated with less clinically relevant access site related bleeding and/or vascular complications requiring intervention as compared to the fluoroscopy guided method for complex PCI with large-bore access.
Interventions

Fluoroscopy guided femoral access for complex PCI
