A true bifurcated lesion in coronary atherosclerotic disease is present in approximately 15% of patients referred for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).1 The percutaneous approach to this especially complex scenario has been faced in many different ways depending on the techniques available at any particular time.2–4 In the last few years, the introduction of drug-eluting stents (DES) has…

Saphenous vein grafts (SVGs), despite their inherent inferiority to arterial conduits, still remain the type of grafts most commonly used during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).1 The natural and post-interventional biological behaviour of SVGs differ from that of native coronary vessels, increasing the risk of restenosis.2 SVG disease after CABG is a strong predictor of mortality.3 In a…

Terminology
When the first-in-human implantation of a bioresorbable device into the coronary artery was reported in 2007, the term ‘fully bioabsorbable stent’ was used.1 Later, in 2011, Onuma and colleagues explained that the term ‘bioresorbable’ provides a more precise description of the complete cleavage of macromolecules to small molecules with total elimination and the term ‘scaffold’ was…

Randomised trials in the infra-renal abdominal aorta have demonstrated endovascular is better than open repair in preventing aneurysm-related death up to four years post-operatively. Patients with thoracic aneurysms potentially have even more to gain from the endovascular technique. Mortality rates from open thoracic aneurysm repair are three times higher than the infra-renal aorta. Furthermore,…

Programme Overview
In this live case series Prof. James Spratt and Dr Thierry Lefèvre will guide us through a progressive and comprehensive educational journey around the globe. We will join various live case centres, over 11 months to learn from over 30 expert perspectives on how LMPCI is performed in a contemporary setting.
The aim of the series being, to break down the complexity of the…

Coronary artery stenting has evolved substantially since the first use of coronary stenting as an adjunct to balloon angioplasty in the early 1990s. The performance (and particularly the deliverability) of coronary stents has improved such that coronary stenting is now the primary mode of revascularisation for percutaneous coronary interventions in more than 95% of cases.
Although stent delivery…
