Coronary chronic total occlusions (CTOs) are identified in up to one-third of all patients referred for diagnostic coronary angiography,1 with an incidence increasing with age.2 CTOs still represent the most technically challenging lesion subset that interventional cardiologists face. The benefits of successful CTO recanalisation are related to improved survival,3,4 most notably in patients with…

Proceedings of two satellite symposia held at EuroPCR, Paris in May 2015
Although the latest polymeric drug-eluting stents (DES) have enhanced percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures, a substantial proportion of patients requiring percutaneous transluminal coronary angiography (PTCA) is elderly with numerous different comorbidities. This population requires use of effective DES that…

Saphenous vein grafts (SVGs), despite their inherent inferiority to arterial conduits, still remain the type of grafts most commonly used during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).1 The natural and post-interventional biological behaviour of SVGs differ from that of native coronary vessels, increasing the risk of restenosis.2 SVG disease after CABG is a strong predictor of mortality.3 In a…

Coronary stent implantation is one of the most important developments in the field of percutaneous coronary revascularisation after the introduction of balloon angioplasty in 1977.1 The treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD) using a bare-metal stent (BMS) is considered effective; however, restenosis occurs in 15–35% of all cases, requiring repeated treatment.2–4 To overcome the restenosis…

Introduction and Objectives
A symposium, chaired by Dr Heinz Joachim Büttner of Freiburg-Bad Krozingen (Germany) and Dr Masahisa Yamane of St Luke’s International Hospital (Tokyo, Japan) took place at EuroPCR, Paris on May 23rd, 2014. Its objectives were as follows: to learn how to improve the success of percutaneous intervention (PCI) in chronic total occlusion (CTO) by matching techniques to…

Dr George Dangas (Mount Sinai Hospital, New York, NY, US) discusses the results of the TWILIGHT-Stent trial, presented at ESC 2021. This study examined the incidence of ischemic and bleeding events in patients treated with contemporary drug-eluting stents over 3-15 months. This trial also examined ticagrelor monotherapy vs ticagrelor with aspirin.
