Michael Joner
Job title: Head of the Preclinical Research
Dr Michael Joner MD completed his medical training at the University of Wuerzburg and spent 2004-2006 as a cardiovascular pathology fellow at the CVPath Institute. After returning to Germany, since 2007 Dr Joner has been Head of the Preclinical Research at the German Heart Centre in Munich, where he also completed his interventional cardiology residency.

Many experts would agree that the concept of looking at vessel architecture from the inside using intracoronary probes, instead of simply relying on the angiographic vessel cast, is an elegant way to practise interventional cardiology in order to decide whether to treat a coronary artery and to guide coronary intervention. The historical development of stents neatly exemplifies this notion: the… View more

ESC 23: The OCTOBER Trial
Author(s): Niels Ramsing Holm Added: 7 months ago
ESC 2023 — Dr Niels Ramsing Holm (Aarhus University, DK) outlines the findings from the OCTOBER trial (NCT03171311). The OCTOBER trial (Aarhus University Hospital Skejby, Abbott) aimed to compare the median two-year clinical outcome after optical coherence tomography (OCT) guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as compared to angiographic-guided PCI. This was an investigator-initiated… View more

ESC 23: The ILUMIEN IV Trial
Author(s): Ziad A Ali Added: 7 months ago
ESC 2023 — Dr Ziad Ali (DeMatteis St Francis, US) joins us to discuss the findings from the ILUMIEN IV clinical trial (NCT03507777). ILUMIEN IV (Abbott Medical Devices)is a prospective, single-blind clinical trial aiming to compare optical coherence tomography (OCT) to an angiography-guided stent implantation strategy. The trial investigated which method achieved a larger post-percutaneous… View more

In the bare metal stent (BMS) era, several intravascular ultrasound(IVUS) studies have validated the strategy of reducing in-stent restenosis rates by a strict adherence to an optimal stent implantation technique, predominantly by avoiding stent underexpansion.1 In a first phase after the introduction of drug-eluting stents(2003), the spectacular reduction in restenosis rates, based on… View more

Intracoronary Imaging: When to use IVUS and OCT
Author(s): Sudheer Koganti , Tushar Kotecha , Roby D Rakhit Added: 3 years ago
Intracoronary imaging is able to aid the interventional cardiologist in the characterisation of atherosclerotic plaque morphology, in optimising stent sizing, and in minimising the complications associated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) are commonly used methods, while newer spectroscopic methods are under… View more

OCT-guided Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Bifurcation Lesions
Author(s): Luca Longobardo , Alessio Mattesini , Serafina Valente , et al Added: 3 years ago
Coronary artery bifurcation lesions are treated in 15–20% of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures and are still plagued by worse outcomes.1 This is in spite of recent significant advancements in stent technology in general and in bifurcation stenting techniques in particular. Conventional angiography provides only limited information about bifurcation anatomy, plaque distribution… View more
