Improvements in equipment and drug therapies plus the development of coronary artery stents have all contributed to the growth of PCI as an alternative to surgical revascularization. Compared with the early days of balloon angioplasty, when…

The optimal assessment and management of patients presenting with recent onset chest pain is achieved by acquiring information about the coronary anatomy and physiology, enabling decisions to be made based upon evidence of ischaemia at a patient-level and at lesion-level. There are robust data indicating that the visual assessment of stenosis severity alone does not provide enough information…

The Synergy between PCI with taxus and cardiac surgery (SYNTAX) trial, which included both a randomised as well as a registry experience has clarified many issues. These include the extent and severity of the disease, the clinical presentation, and the metrics used for…

The transradial approach (TRA) was introduced for the first time in 1989.1 Used at first by Campeau for coronary angiography, the TRA was later applied by Kiemeneij et al. for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).2 The radial artery has proven to be a challenging but safe route towards the coronary arteries. According to the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines, the radial artery…
