Incomplete stent apposition (ISA) or stent malapposition is the lack of contact between stent struts and the underlying arterial wall. ISA has been associated with significantly higher levels of thrombus deposition1 and is typically assessed by intravascular imaging techniques such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS).2–4 These imaging modalities are useful to…

The coronary tree is comprised of arteries which divide into ever smaller branches to supply the myocardium. This means that the diameter of the vessel proximal to a bifurcation is always larger than the diameter of the main vessel distal to the bifurcation. The proximal optimisation technique (POT) was proposed by Dr Olivier Darremont as a technique to compensate for this difference in diameters…

The leading aetiology of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in developed countries is functional, secondary to left side heart disease and pulmonary hypertension.1 Currently, moderate-to-severe TR affects approximately 1.6 million patients in the United States, of whom only 8,000 undergo tricuspid surgery annually;2 this results in an extremely large number of untreated patients with significant TR, a…

In the 18th century, Edward Jenner and Caleb Hillier Parry, two British physicians, independently noticed that coronary ossification was often present in patients dying of ‘syncope anginosa’.1 Coronary angiography opened the possibility of expanding these observations to living patients and offered revascularisation options. During surgery, it was often possible to modify the position of the…

The identification of vulnerable plaques has been a longstanding challenge for interventional cardiologists. Plaque composition is regarded as an important feature for assessment of plaque vulnerability. Histopathologists have in particular shown that the type of plaque most commonly prone to rupture in vivo is the thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA), in which the presence of lipid core (also called…
