Rigorous assessment of clinical practice plays an important role in improving patient care and outcomes in interventional cardiology. This multicenter observational study called CRAC began in 2014 in the Centre Val de Loire region of France. It uses usual coronary activity report software to collect high-quality, reliable data from five interventional cardiology catheterization labs in the region. This approach aims to create an extensive and trustworthy database that could be expanded to other regions in France. The study collects data continuously from patients who have undergone coronary angiograms or angioplasty procedures. There are no specific interventions or treatments assigned as this is an observational registry monitoring routine clinical activity in interventional cardiology. The data collection and quality assessment are integrated into the regular reporting systems used by participating centers. Participants provide their data while receiving standard care. Researchers regularly evaluate the quality of the collected data to ensure accuracy and completeness. The main outcome being measured is the census of interventional cardiology activity over one year. The study focuses on building a comprehensive national registry to support improved care through careful monitoring and analysis of interventional cardiology procedures.
