The IVUS CHIP UPP Registry is a prospective, observational, multicenter, single-arm registry. A total of 1010 patients with complex coronary lesions will be enrolled in up to 2 years, with at least 500 men and women. All patients will be treated with IVUS-guided PCI.
Description
Objective is to describe in a United States population the clinical efficacy and safety of an IVUS-guided approach in patients who self-identify within a census-defined minority undergoing PCI of complex coronary lesions, as well as clinical outcomes up to 2 years.

- Long-lesions (estimated stent length \> 28mm) OR Patient with an indication for PCI for any lesion and in need for elective mechanical circulatory support assisted PCI
- Presenting with silent ischemia, stable angina, unstable angina or non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS)
- All lesions must be suitable for treatment with FDA-approved contemporary generation drug eluting stents or drug-coated balloons
- The patient is willing and able to cooperate with registry procedures and follow-up until registry completion
