There has been rapid development in the techniques used for chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) over the past decade, with success rates in experienced centres now exceeding 90%.1 This is in part due to advances in devices and techniques for CTO crossing, but also an improved understanding of strategy. The development of the ‘hybrid algorithm’ has improved…

Plaque rupture and subsequent thrombus formation account for most acute myocardial infarctions (AMIs). Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is considered the preferred treatment for ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), for evolving non-STEMI (NSTEMI) and for rescue intervention post-thrombolytics.1 The main goals of primary and rescue PCI in AMI include restoration of a normal…

In this short interview, Dr Rafael Romaguera (University of Barcelona, SP) discusses the findings from the SUGAR trial.This randomized head-to-head trial aimed to compare Cre8 EVO stents to a contemporary drug-eluting stent (DES) in patients with diabetes (DM) and coronary artery disease. The trial, first presented at TCT 2021, demonstrated that Cre8 EVO stents were non-inferior to Resolute Onyx…

Newer generation polymeric metallic drug-eluting stents (DES) have shown improved efficacy and safety compared with bare-metal stents and first-generation DES, improving patient outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and facilitating the treatment of more complex coronary disease.1 However, clinical outcomes in certain lesion and patient subsets remain suboptimal. Procedural and…

Atrial septal abnormalities are common congenital lesions remaining asymptomatic until adulthood in a great number of patients. The most frequent atrial septal defects in adults are ostium secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) and patent foramen ovale (PFO), both approachable by transcatheter closure using device implantation. The first non-surgical ASD closure was performed in 1975 by Mills and…

Radial vs Femoral Access
In recent years several large registries and randomised controlled trials have demonstrated a mortality benefit for trans-radial over trans-femoral percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), likely mediated by reduced bleeding complications.1–4 Building on the pioneering Japanese experience, the advent of the hybrid algorithim approach, coupled with innovative new…
