Aortic dissection (AD) is one of the most challenging vascular diseases, with an in-patient mortality as high as 30 %1 and 30-day and 5-year fatality rates of just over 50 % and 60 %, respectively.2 The time course of AD is broadly spit into acute (<14 days), subacute (15–90 days), and chronic (>90 days) phases, and it is split clinically into complicated (i.e. the condition is associated…

Concomitant coronary artery disease (CAD) and valvular heart disease is a common problem in the ageing population. It is estimated that the prevalence of mitral regurgitation and aortic stenosis in individuals over the age of 70 is 10 % and 4 %, respectively.1,2 Among patients presenting with symptomatic aortic stenosis, concurrent CAD occurs in over 50 % of those over 70 years of age and over 65…

Over the past nine years, since the first transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) by Cribier et al.1 in France in 2002, this new technique has enthralled cardiologists all over the world. With the deployment of TAVI – about 40,000 procedures have been carried out worldwide so far – cardiologists intruded into the previously unshared domain of surgical aortic valve replacement. Albeit…

Since the introduction of drug-eluting stents (DES), physicians have tried to find a delicate balance between achieving a highly effective result without compromising the safety of the patient. Various concepts have been introduced into the marketplace in the attempt to identify the optimal combination of characteristics; however, until now very little attention has been paid to combining a…
