Brief summary

The study will investigate the prevalence of high bleeding risk (HBR) features and will compare the clinical outcomes of HBR and non-HBR patients among those undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention and receiving cangrelor infusion.

Detailed description

Cangrelor administration is currently recommended by international guidelines in patients undergoing PCI who are naïve to P2Y12 inhibitors. These recommendations are based on the large Cangrelor Versus Standard Therapy to Achieve Optimal Management of Platelet Inhibition (CHAMPION) program, which encompassed three randomized controlled trials (RCTs) enrolling both chronic and acute coronary syndromes. Consistently, the aforementioned studies showed the benefit of cangrelor in terms of ischemic events (mainly driven by a reduction of myocardial infarction - MI - and stent thrombosis - ST) in the face of an increased rate of minor bleeding. However, those RCTs were primarily focused on populations at considerable ischemic risk and with predictably low bleeding proneness, including young patients without bleeding risk features. In the contemporary practice, however, PCI is increasingly frequent in patients at high risk of bleeding, who are not formally prevented from being administered with cangrelor by international guidelines and possibly necessitate powerful and rapid-onset platelet inhibition while undergoing complex percutaneous revascularization. The present registry was therefore conceived at the scope of collecting data on the use of cangrelor in high bleeding risk (HBR) patients undergoing contemporary PCI. Specifically, it will assess the frequency of HBR patients in a real-world cohort of individuals treated with cangrelor and will compare the clinical outcomes of HBR and non-HBR patients.
