Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is one of the most commonly performed procedures in cardiology. More recently, the limitations of rigid metallic stents have led to the development of bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS). The earliest version of bioresorbable stent developed and tested in humans in 1990 was the Igaki-Tamai stent. It featured a thermal and balloon expandable stent that showed… View more

Since Andreas Gruentzig presented his pioneering work in 1977, 'three revolutions' in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) have characterised the field of interventional cardiology. Plain old balloon angioplasty (POBA) was refined by the introduction of bare metal stenting (BMS) (second revolution) to address the issue of acute vessel recoil and unacceptably high rates of restenosis. Drug… View more

It is estimated that 15-20 % of all coronary interventional procedures involve side branches.1 Side branches are frequently related to periprocedural complications. Side branch occlusion or compromise appears to be the underlying cause of approximately 30 % of periprocedural myocardial infarctions.2 Periprocedural infarction in turn is an important predictor of midterm mortality3. Considering any… View more

CRT 2019: ABSORB II Trial
Author(s): Javier Escaned Added: 5 years ago
Prof Javier Escaned (Hospital Clinico San Carlos, Madrid, ES) discusses the long term effect of bioresorbable scaffolds and metallic drug eluting stents (DES) on human coronary hemodynamics, following the results from the latest ABSORB II randomised trial. Filmed on site at CRT 2019 by Radcliffe Cardiology Questions: 1. Why did you conduct this research? 2. Which devices were followed and how… View more

Patient Selection and Procedural Considerations for Coronary Orbital Atherectomy System
Author(s): Yohei Sotomi , Richard A Shlofmitz , Antonio Colombo , et al Added: 3 years ago
From the early days of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) it became apparent that the presence of severe coronary calcification was a predictor of worse clinical outcomes. In the era of plain old balloon angioplasty, severe coronary calcification was associated with an increased risk of coronary dissection and procedural failure, while in the bare-metal stent era, it was associated with a… View more

Author(s): Simon Kennon Added: 3 years ago
This year’s third and final issue of Interventional Cardiology Review includes an excellent series of papers on chronic total occlusions. Over the last 10 years, particularly the last 5 years, this area has been transformed by the introduction of new technologies and new techniques. Cases which would only have been considered for surgical revascularisation a decade ago are now routinely being… View more
