Myocardial infarction (MI) is the leading cause of death worldwide in both men and women.1 An impending infarction is recognised by ST elevation, which is predominantly the result of an occlusive thrombosis in a coronary artery. An immediate goal in MI is to restore blood flow through the occluded coronary artery. Reperfusion is carried out using primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)… View more

Alain Cribier's determination in the 1980s to provide a definitive solution for high-risk surgical candidates with severe aortic stenosis was met with significant resistance. However, over many years transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) was developed and refined, leading to the first human procedure in April 2002 in France. Since this first description by Cribier et al.,1 there are now… View more

The rise and fall of interventional renal sympathetic denervation (RDN) as a treatment for arterial hypertension is a remarkable chapter in the scientific history of the 21st century. This once promising therapy has been abandoned by most clinicians after the neutral results of the Renal Denervation in Patients With Uncontrolled Hypertension (SYMPLICITY-HTN3) trial.1 It would have been easy to… View more
