Much has been said about the allegedly final frontiers in interventional cardiology. Is it long-term outcome regarding percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for multivessel coronary artery disease? Is it the safety and efficacy of PCI versus coronary artery bypass grafting in patients with diabetes? There is definitely a movement within the interventional cardiology community that says it is… View more

The Value of Intracoronary Imaging and Coronary Physiology When Treating Calcified Lesions
Author(s): Yasushi Ueki , Tatsuhiko Otsuka , Kiyoshi Hibi , et al Added: 3 years ago
Heavily calcified coronary artery lesions hinder device delivery and limit stent expansion, which is the most relevant predictor of stent failure. This may result in low procedural success and poor clinical outcomes. Coronary angiography has a limited ability to detect calcifications when planning an optimal percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) strategy. Intracoronary imaging can provide… View more

Contemporary Approach to Heavily Calcified Coronary Lesions

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

The Coronary Intravascular Lithotripsy System
Author(s): Joost Daemen , Maria Natalia Tovar Forero Added: 3 years ago
The amount of coronary artery calcification increases with age and the presence of cardiovascular risk factors and comorbidities.1,2 Up to 20% of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures are challenged by severe calcifications, and coronary calcifications have been shown to be an independent predictor of PCI failure and future adverse cardiac events.3,4 Lesion calcification increases… View more

Coronary calcification has posed challenges to successful revascularisation since the development of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).1 Coronary artery calcification worsens clinical outcomes irrespective of the revascularisation strategy.2–4 Despite significant improvements in stent design over the past decades, including an improved ability to deliver a stent, severe calcification… 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
