Many experts would agree that the concept of looking at vessel architecture from the inside using intracoronary probes, instead of simply relying on the angiographic vessel cast, is an elegant way to practise interventional cardiology in order to decide whether to treat a coronary artery and to guide coronary intervention. The historical development of stents neatly exemplifies this notion: the… View more

In the bare metal stent (BMS) era, several intravascular ultrasound(IVUS) studies have validated the strategy of reducing in-stent restenosis rates by a strict adherence to an optimal stent implantation technique, predominantly by avoiding stent underexpansion.1 In a first phase after the introduction of drug-eluting stents(2003), the spectacular reduction in restenosis rates, based on… View more

Adiponectin (also known as APM1, Acrp 30, AdipoQ or GBP28) is a 30kD circulating plasma protein and is the most abundant adipokine secreted by adipose tissue. In humans, adiponectin accounts for approximately 0.01% of circulating plasma proteins.1 It is thought to have a unique spectrum of properties for an adipokine, many of which are anti-atherosclerotic, and is downregulated in the presence of… View more

The treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions (BL) is still challenging for interventional cardiologists, due to the relatively high-risk of the side branch (SB) closure and the increased long-term restenosis.1 The idea of a dedicated bifurcation stent (DBS) was proposed as a solution for problems associated with the BL treatment by means of a classical stent.1 Three groups of stents are… View more

ESC 2023 — We are joined onsite by Dr Duk-Woo Park and Dr Do-Yoon Kang (Asan Medical Center, Seoul, KR) to discuss the findings from the OCTIVUS study (NCT03394079). The OCTIVUS study (Seung-Jung Park, CardioVascular Research Foundation, Korea) aims to compare the clinical safety and efficacy of optimal coherence tomography (OCT) guided and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guided strategies in… View more
