There will be guidelines about the optimal management of most clinical situations. It makes decision making in medicine more universal, but often you have to think about all of the awkward situations that sit outside the guidelines. One neglected area of research involves the management of illness in older people. The older patient is often not included in trial protocols, and so a well of…

Insights from Carotid Artery Stenting Registries
Registries tend to have less stringent inclusion and exclusion criteria than randomised trials and provide real-world data on a broad variety of patients treated by a range of interventionists of varying experience. Registries serve to provide first-time evaluation of new devices, help set up learning curve pearls, can be hypothesis-generating and…

Abstract
Both carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS) are associated with small, but clinically important and discrepant, rates of procedural complications, including cerebral and myocardial ischaemic events, cranial nerve injury and access site haematoma. Embolic protection devices (EPDs) may lower the rate of ipsilateral ischaemic events during CAS and are considered by…

Carotid stenting has been introduced for the treatment of carotid artery stenosis as a potentially less invasive therapy than carotid endarterectomy, because carotid stenting does not require general anaesthesia and does not lead to local surgical complications. Despite major technical progress in decreasing the risk of embolisation, this risk continues to be a hurdle in the acceptance of carotid…

Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the second most prevalent valvular heart disease in developed countries and nearly one-third of the patients with isolated, native valve disease are diagnosed with significant MR, according to the Euro Heart Survey on Valvular Heart Disease.1
Mitral valve (MV) complex is a very complicated structure which consists of the mitral annulus (MA), valve leaflets, papillary…

Strokes are frequently devastating events with potentially fatal complications and significant disability, resulting in a major impact on the affected individual’s quality of life. It is well accepted that the presence of carotid stenosis is responsible for 20–30% of strokes.1 Great effort has therefore been invested in the search for treatments to reduce the stroke risk attributed to it…

Abstract
In many patients, comparable results can be achieved either with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The comparison of PCI versus CABG is frequently reported in randomised trials, national registries, multicentre collaborations and single-centre experiences. However, the patients included in these analyses are either highly selected …
