TCT 23: IFR SWEDEHEART
Author(s): Matthias Gotberg Added: 5 months ago
TCT 23 - We are joined by Dr Matthias Götberg (Lund University, SE) to discuss recent findings from a study of the SWEDEHEART Registry, where the long-term outcomes of iFR vs FFR guided coronary revascularization were compared. Results suggest that in a national registry analysis of 42887 patients investigated with iFR or FFR with 5-year follow-up, similar outcomes were observed in MACE, all… View more

The main goal of mechanical cardiac assistance is to provide haemodynamic support in case of an endangered coronary or systemic circulation by increasing or maintaining coronary and systemic blood flow. In addition to haemodynamic support, mechanical cardiac assistance may also provide myocardial protection by unloading the ventricle. The experience with percutaneous mechanical support devices is… View more

The FAME Trials: Impact on Clinical Decision Making
Author(s): Guy R Heyndrickx , Gábor G Tóth Added: 3 years ago
The presence as well as the extent of myocardial ischaemia are key to determining cardiovascular outcome,1–3 thus its identification is important. An endeavour to improve diagnostic accuracy in deciding which angiographic lesions are haemodynamically significant led to the development of the concept of fractional flow reserve (FFR). Based on pressure-flow analysis of a stenosis during maximum… View more

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has undoubtedly revolutionised the treatment of severe aortic stenosis and has become the preferred treatment option for patients at increased surgical risk.1,2 Although outcomes have improved and complications reduced over time, certain potentially catastrophic complications remain.3,4 Coronary obstruction has long been a feared complication and is… View more

For ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), there is currently no doubt that primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) of the infarct related artery (IRA) is the preferred reperfusion strategy.1 In about 50% of cases, STEMI is associated with multivessel coronary artery disease (MVCAD), defined as a ≥50% stenosis in at least one non-infarct related epicardial coronary artery … View more

Since the first human transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI)performed through an antegrade transfemoral approach (i.e. femoral venous access, transseptal puncture advancement of the device to the left ventricle and antegradely through the aortic valve), the venous approach has been abandoned and different arterial access routes such as the transfemoral, transapical, subclavian or direct… View more
