With an ageing population, the burden of peripheral artery diseases (PADs) is increasing. The treatment of these diseases has largely been performed by interventional radiologists, vascular surgeons and interventional cardiologists. In 2011, the percentage of procedures performed per specialty were 12.9 %, 45.0 % and 42.2 % for interventional radiology, vascular surgery and interventional…

The original studies of coronary balloon angioplasty performed by Andreas Gruentzig attempted to employ physiological guidance by measuring trans-stenotic gradients with over-the-wire angioplasty catheters.1 However, these catheters were of such large calibre that they contributed to the stenosis being assessed and in addition, measurements were made at rest as the importance of assessing…

ESC 2023 — Prof Barbara Stähli (University Hospital Zurich, CH) joins us onsite at ESC 23 to outline the findings of the MULTISTARS AMI Trial (NCT03135275).
MULTISTARS AMI aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of two treatment strategies currently performed in clinical practice, immediate complete revascularization versus staged complete revascularization in patients presenting with ST…

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 …

Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) encompass a wide spectrum of clinical presentations that range from ST-elevation MI (STEMI) to non-ST-elevation MI and unstable angina. These conditions are life threatening and remain a source of high morbidity and mortality. Unfortunately, despite major accomplishments worldwide in timely reperfusion with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), an important…

Multivessel coronary artery disease (MVCAD) is defined by the presence of ≥50% diameter stenosis of two or more epicardial coronary arteries. The presence of MVCAD indicates poorer prognosis and a significantly higher mortality than single-vessel disease. In MVCAD, revascularisation can be achieved by either percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).1,2 A…
