NCT ID NCT03507205
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed registry followed over 17,000 Korean patients with coronary artery disease who received drug-eluting stents. Researchers compared several types of stents to see which ones work best and are safest over the long term in everyday medical practice. The goal is to provide real-world evidence to guide stent selection.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this registry could help doctors choose the best stent type for patients with coronary artery disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a controlled trial, so results may show associations but not prove which stent is best. Differences in patient groups could affect outcomes.
