Fast and effective opening of epicardial arteries by thrombolysis or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to restore perfusion to the jeopardised myocardium is considered the cornerstone in the treatment of patients with an acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) leading to a reduction in morbidity and mortality.1 However, despite successful opening of the coronary artery, myocardial… View more

Anticoagulation after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: Current Status
Author(s): Antonio Greco , Davide Capodanno Added: 3 years ago
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a valuable treatment option for patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis.1 Its use is supported by the results of multiple randomised controlled trials (RCTs) exploring the entire surgical risk spectrum, including inoperable, high-risk, intermediate risk and low risk patients.2–8 TAVI is associated with a small but not negligible… View more

TCT 23: 5 Trials That Changed My Practice
Author(s): Kendra J Grubb Added: 5 months ago
TCT 23 - We are joined by Dr Kendra Grubb (Emory School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA, US) for a concise and insightful summary of the late-breaking trials that are expected to have an impact on interventional science concerning structural heart disease and clinical practice. Trials covered in detail include: PARTNER 3 & EVOLUT Low-Risk ALIGN-AR TENDYNE APOLLO TRILUMINATE Recorded remotely… View more

Outcomes After PCI in Women
Author(s): Usha Rao , G Louise Buchanan , Angela Hoye Added: 3 years ago
Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of morbidity and is the leading cause of death in women and men in Western societies.1 Despite the major advances seen in the field of interventional cardiology and pharmacotherapy, which have translated into better outcomes, a disparity is evident in the clinical outcomes between men and women. This was clearly evident in a recent systematic review and… View more

Aortic valve replacement via full sternotomy is the gold standard surgical therapy for patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and insufficiency.1 This procedure has proved to be reliable, reproducible, relieves symptoms and improves prognosis of the patients. Degenerative AS is the most frequently acquired valve disease in the elderly population. In the current era, aortic valve surgery is the… View more

Peripheral Arterial Interventions
Author(s): Brock Cookman , Suhail Allaqaband , Tonga Nfor Added: 3 years ago
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… View more

Definition and Prevalence Chronic coronary occlusions (CTOs) are defifined as lesions with Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) 0 flow older than three months (either angiographically proven or with high clinical likelihood). 1 According to a recent Canadian registry, CTOs are detected in about 30 % of patients with symptomatic coronary artery diseases (CAD).2 Likewise a very large German… View more

Intervention
Author(s): Deepak Natarajan Added: 3 years ago
Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the treatment of choice in the management of acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). It has been constantly observed that, despite restoring good epicardial flow with PCI, myocardial perfusion at the cellular level remains impaired in nearly 50 % of STEMI patients. This led to the development of a new class of antiplatelet… View more
