Introduction

Cangrelor is a fast and directly acting platelet aggregation inhibitor. It is potentially indicated for several types of patients who are undergoing PCI. A nationwide cangrelor registry has up until now not been performed. The “Dutch Cangrelor Registry” aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of cangrelor in the Netherlands.

Primary endpoint is a 48 hours Net Adverse Clinical Events, which is a composite endpoint of all cause death (including cardiac death), recurrent myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization, definite or probable stent thrombosis, stroke and bleeding (BARC type 2-5).

The Dutch Cangrelor Registry is a multicenter non-interventional prospective registry aiming to include 250 patients in 8 centres in The Netherlands.

The first patient was included in December 2019 in the Isala hospital in the Netherlands.
