It has been almost two decades since Juan Carlos Parodi deployed the first endovascular stent-graft in an abdominal aortic aneurysm, a procedure that ushered in a new era in the treatment of an often fatal vascular disease. Since then, significant evolution in devices and techniques has resulted in a dramatic expansion in the performance of endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) and… View more

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

Coronary artery stenting has evolved substantially and the performance (and particularly the deliverability) of coronary stents has improved such that they are now the primary mode of revascularisation for almost all PCIs. The new Svelte™ stent-on-a-wire (SOAW) delivery system represents one of the first substantive innovations in stent delivery systems (SDS) in more than a decade. Using a… View more

Section A Techniques for Chronic Total Occlusions Revascularisation Access Route, Guiding Catheter Selection and Contralateral Injection The femoral approach is the preferred access route by most operators. However, the radial approach might be chosen because of severe peripheral vascular disease, operator’s preference or for contralateral injection. The guiding principle of access selection is… View more

EuroPCR 21: Results from the Early Neo2 Registry
Author(s): Andreas Rück Added: 2 years ago
In this interview, Dr Andreas Rück (Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, SE) outlines the findings of the Early Neo2 Registry, which tracked the performance of the ACURATE Neo2 TAVI Valve device, which released in September 2020. Questions: What is the rationale for this registry? Can you tell us more about the Acurate neo2 Device? What data are you tracking and how many patients have you… View more

Fast and effective opening of epicardial arteries by thrombolysis or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to restore perfusion to the jeopardised myocardium is considered the cornerstone in the treatment of patients with an acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) leading to a reduction in morbidity and mortality.1 However, despite successful opening of the coronary artery, myocardial… View more
