The Euro-CRAFT Registry is a prospective, multicentric, international registry of patients undergoing functional assessment of the coronary microcirculation using the continuous thermodilution technique. Angina and quality of life questionnaires (Seattle Angina Questionnaire 19 - SAQ19, ORBITA app) will be obtained at baseline, at 6 months, and 1-year follow-up. Clinical follow-up will be performed at 1 year (optionally until 5 years).

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Age \> 18 years.
* Stable patients should have complaints of chest pain suspected of angina pectoris or other symptoms raising the suspicion of IHD and non-obstructive epicardial coronary arteries on invasive coronary angiography (ICA, diameter stenosis of less than 50%) with an FFR \>0.80.
* Any other clinical scenario (including in the context of ACS) prompting the physician to assess the function of the coronary microvasculature.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Unable to provide consent
* Unstable hemodynamics
* Ongoing chest pain.
* Previous CABG
* Moderate to severe valvular heart disease
* Uncontrolled or recurrent ventricular tachycardia.
* Active liver disease or hepatic dysfunction, defined as AST or ALT \> 3 times the ULN.
* Comorbidity with life expectancy \<= 2 years.
* Severe renal dysfunction, defined as an eGFR \<30 mL/min/1.73 m2.
* Subject is currently participating in another investigational drug or device clinical study.
* Presence of other anatomic or comorbid conditions, or other medical, social or psychological conditions that, in the investigator's opinion, could limit the subject's ability to participate in the clinical investigation or to comply with follow-up requirements, or impact the scientific soundness of the clinical investigation results.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
