Left main stem (LMS) disease is identified in up to 5 % of diagnostic angiography cases.1 It has major prognostic significance due to the proportion of myocardium at risk. Many years ago, the Coronary Artery Surgery Study (CASS) registry demonstrated the superiority of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) over medical therapy with a 5-year mortality reduction from 43 % to 16 % in symptomatic… View more

EuroPCR 23: EBC MAIN Three-Year Follow Up
Author(s): David Hildick-Smith Added: 11 months ago
EuroPCR 23 - Join us as we discover the latest findings from a three-year follow-up of the EBC MAIN Trial, as we interview Principal Investigator Dr David Hildick-Smith (Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals, UK) onsite at EuroPCR 23. The EBC Main Trial aimed to investigate the outcomes of single-stent versus dual-stent bifurcation treatment of distal left main coronary artery lesions. This… View more

In this issue of Interventional Cardiology Review there are three papers that demonstrate how the steady accumulation of data, not exclusively randomised data, can lead to the development of a consensus regarding particular aspects of interventional cardiology. Vein graft interventions, stent optimisation and predilation prior to TAVI are longstanding issues of concern to all cardiologists… View more

It is my great honour to join Interventional Cardiology Review as Coronary Section Editor. In the modern era we are all increasingly busy and it is a pleasure to be part of a journal that helps to maintain an up-to-date knowledge of clinical practice. I practice as an Interventional Cardiologist in a univesrsity hospital in Hull, UK, and have a particular interest in undertaking complex coronary… View more

This year’s final issue of Interventional Cardiology Review contains a superb section on the assessment and treatment of calcified coronary artery disease. Five articles commissioned by guest editor Nicolas Van Mieghem cover ‘all you need to know but were too scared to ask’ about this ever-relevant subject. The rest of the issue is evenly split between structural and coronary papers offering, as… View more

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), a procedure often performed under local anaesthetic with a 2–3 day length of stay, has the capacity to transform lives for the better with dramatic improvements in exercise tolerance and quality of life. Complication rates are low, but stroke – particularly disabling stroke – remains a feared outcome for patients and operators alike. As such, it is… View more

This is the third and last issue of Interventional Cardiology Review in 2015. It has been a year of consolidation rather than breakthrough. Important trials relating to transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), bifurcations and chronic total occlusions (CTOs) are ongoing with results having the potential to transform standard practice in both coronary and structural interventions. Various… View more

Use of Intravascular Ultrasound Imaging in Percutaneous Coronary Intervention to Treat Left Main Coronary Artery Disease
Author(s): Giovanni Luigi De Maria , Adrian P Banning Added: 3 years ago
Detection of obstructive disease of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) is relatively unusual in the catheterisation laboratory, as it accounts for approximately 4 % of all coronary angiograms, with isolated LMCA disease observed in only 5–10 % of these cases.1 Intervention to the LMCA is, however, notable compared to the treatment of coronary stenosis elsewhere in the coronary tree. First,… View more
