Significant advances have been made with new generation stents to further improve the results of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and outcomes for patients. Drug-eluting stents introduced in the early 2000s, thinner strut stent platforms, and bioabsorbable polymers and stents are among these developments.1 Despite these advances, there remain some areas where optimal stenting continues to…

Coronary chronic total occlusions (CTOs) are identified in up to one third of patients with coronary artery disease referred for nonurgent coronary angiography,1,2 with an incidence increasing with age.3 Conceptually, you may argue that the motivation to reopen a totally blocked artery is not as strong as for subocclusive lesions, that have the potential to progress and cause acute events.

With an ageing population, the burden of peripheral artery diseases (PADs) is increasing. The treatment of these diseases has largely been performed by interventional radiologists, vascular surgeons and interventional cardiologists. In 2011, the percentage of procedures performed per specialty were 12.9 %, 45.0 % and 42.2 % for interventional radiology, vascular surgery and interventional…

Recent estimates suggest that it accounts for approximately one out of every 17 deaths in the US, and that a person dies from the direct consequences of stroke every three to four minutes.1 Of the almost 800,000 strokes that occur annually, 87% are ischaemic, the remainder occurring predominantly as a consequence of intracerebral…
