Section A Techniques for Chronic Total Occlusions Revascularisation Access Route, Guiding Catheter Selection and Contralateral Injection The femoral approach is the preferred access route by most operators. However, the radial approach might be chosen because of severe peripheral vascular disease, operator’s preference or for contralateral injection. The guiding principle of access selection is… View more

Intervention
Author(s): Michael Haude Added: 3 years ago
Myocardial infarction (MI) is the leading cause of death worldwide in both men and women.1 An impending infarction is recognised by ST elevation, which is predominantly the result of an occlusive thrombosis in a coronary artery. An immediate goal in MI is to restore blood flow through the occluded coronary artery. Reperfusion is carried out using primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)… View more

MI/ACS
Author(s): Martin B Leon Added: 3 years ago
Since the first treatment of a patient with severe stenosis of the left anterior descending coronary artery using the percutaneous balloon angioplasty technique, pioneered by Andreas Gruentzig more than 25 years ago, the thriving subspeciality of lesser-invasive transcatheter therapeutics has become an important treatment alternative in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Although balloon… 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

The main advantages of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) over conventional aortic valve replacement (cAVR) surgery are the avoidance of sternotomy, heart lung bypass and prolonged procedure times. These advantages facilitate early mobilisation and discharge – important both clinically and in terms of resource utilisation. Balanced against this, TAVI is less predictable than cAVR –… View more
