During coronary revascularisation involving a main vessel and a side branch, it is unclear whether ballooning of the side branch is a prerequisite for long term clinical success. Coronary physiology techniques such as Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) provide a unique way to scientifically quantify whether a side-branch may need revascularisation following treatment of the main vessel. Frequently it… View more

Coronary CTA has rapidly gone from a test with potential to be considered a first-line test for patients with stable chest pain.1 It provides robust ability to exclude atherosclerosis and coronary artery stenosis and more recently has been shown to inform and guide clinical treatment making in a fashion that enables a reduction in myocardial infarction when compared to traditional stress testing… View more

Embolisation of atherothrombotic material is a common occurrence during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). This may lead to distal vessel occlusion resulting in impaired myocardial perfusion, which is associated with larger infarct size, incomplete ST resolution and increased mortality. Unfortunately, there is a lack of significant adjunctive… View more
