Percutaneous revascularisation has become the cornerstone of ischaemic heart disease management.1,2 Historically, coronary angiography and intervention was predominantly performed via the common femoral artery.3 However, this procedure has an associated 1.5–9.0 % risk of complications, most of which are related to bleeding at the femoral access site.4 Despite a significant reduction in the… View more

Techniques and devices used in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have evolved significantly since the inception of the procedure. Procedural and patient outcomes have improved, while more complex coronary lesions in high-risk patients are being attempted with increasing frequency. High-risk procedures are carried out in patients with marked left ventricular dysfunction, acute coronary… View more

Contemporary Approach to Heavily Calcified Coronary Lesions
Author(s): Carlotta Sorini Dini , Giulia Nardi , Francesca Ristalli , et al Added: 3 years ago
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… View more

Drug-coated Balloons for Small Coronary Vessel Interventions: A Literature Review
Author(s): Raban Jeger , Thomas Nestelberger Added: 3 years ago
Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality despite major improvements in primary and secondary prevention strategies. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or surgical revascularisation may be indicated in many patients with acute or stable CAD.1 Since the first coronary intervention using catheter mounted balloons, percutaneous treatment of CAD has evolved… View more

Insights from Carotid Artery Stenting Registries Registries tend to have less stringent inclusion and exclusion criteria than randomised trials and provide real-world data on a broad variety of patients treated by a range of interventionists of varying experience. Registries serve to provide first-time evaluation of new devices, help set up learning curve pearls, can be hypothesis-generating and… View more

The outcomes of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) have improved in recent years with the more widespread adoption of definitive reperfusion therapies, including rapid recanalisation of the infarct-related artery with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Nonetheless, despite the near universal restoration of normal epicardial flow following primary PCI for STEMI… View more
