TCT 22: FAME 3: FFR-Guided PCI Vs CABG in Pts With Multivessel CAD
Author(s): Yuhei Kobayashi Added: 1 year ago
TCT 22 - In this short interview, Dr Yuhei Kobayashi (Albert Einstein College of Medicine, NY, US) joins us to discuss the findings of a substudy of the FAME 3 trial, which aimed to compare FFR-Guided percutaneous coronary Intervention with coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) in a cohort of patients with multivessel CAD. In this trial, patients with multivessel disease were randomized to… View more

MI/ACS
Author(s): Andres Vasquez , Neville Mistry , Jasvindar Singh Added: 3 years ago
Introduction Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has enhanced our understanding of atherosclerotic plaque morphology, and provides a unique opportunity to guide cardiovascular interventions and evaluate the results of these interventions. IVUS is safe, cost efficient and effective in guiding clinical decisions and cardiovascular interventions and improves outcomes when used during coronary artery… View more

ISCHEMIA Trial and the Significance of MI
Author(s): Eduardo A Arias , Félix Damas-de los Santos , Heriberto Ontiveros-Mercado Added: 3 years ago
For more than a decade, studies have sought to address the best treatment strategy for patients with chronic coronary syndromes (CCS), with many suggesting an invasive approach through revascularisation (percutaneous coronary intervention [PCI] or coronary artery bypass grafting [CABG]), and others suggesting a conservative strategy, such as optimal medical therapy (OMT), for this heterogeneous… View more

MI/ACS
Author(s): David S Wald , Jonathan P Bestwick Added: 3 years ago
The management of patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) relies on restoring blood flow to the occluded infarct artery. Prompt percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and stenting of the stenosis causing the occlusion reduces the risk of cardiac death and recurrent infarction.1 In about half of patients,2 stenoses are identified in non-infarct arteries at the time of the… View more

ACC 22: FFR vs. IVUS-guided PCI in Intermediate Coronary Artery Stenosis: The FLAVOUR Trial
Author(s): Bon-Kwon Koo Added: 2 years ago
In this short interview from our coverage of ACC.22 late-breaking trials, Dr Bon Kwon Koo (Seoul National University Hospital, KR) discusses the FLAVOUR trial (NCT02673424). FLAVOUR was a multicentre, non-inferiority, randomised clinical trial which sought to compare the safety and efficacy of FFR-guided stenting and IVUS-guided stenting. Presented first at ACC.22, the trial demonstrated that… View more

Provisional Stenting Tricks
Author(s): Francesco Burzotta , Carlo Trani Added: 3 years ago
Diseased coronary bifurcations are frequently treated by percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), and in these complex lesions the adoption of the most suitable treatment technique and the selection of the most appropriate coronary stent are of primary importance. Clinical evidence suggests that drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation using a provisional approach is the gold standard for… View more

Author(s): Petr Kala Added: 3 years ago
Patients suffering acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation (STEMI) require full attention of the whole STEMI network to save their lives and to improve the quality of life after a heart attack. Close cooperation among all stakeholders on a national and regional level has to be established. The emergency medical service (EMS) and direct transportation to the 24 hours a day, seven… View more
