Recently, a novel type of interventional device has become available on the market: the drug-eluting balloon (DEB). The established performance of the percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) balloon catheter has been combined with the proven efficacy of antiproliferative drugs.
The usefulness of DEBs has been established,1–6 especially for treating in-stent restenosis (ISR), when…

Percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) for the treatment of coronary artery obstructions are associated with a high rate of restenosis (20–57%) in the first six months after the procedure.1,2 Metallic stenting has significantly improved short-term procedural outcomes and reduced restenosis rates in patients undergoing PCI.3,4 The surgical stent deployment procedure initially involves the…

Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a noninvasive tool capable of directly visualising the coronary anatomy with high sensitivity and negative predictive value (NPV) for coronary artery disease (CAD) compared to invasive coronary angiography (ICA).1,2 Recent innovations in computed tomography (CT) technology have led to the rapid development of CCTA and its selection as an anatomic…

The presence as well as the extent of myocardial ischaemia are key to determining cardiovascular outcome,1–3 thus its identification is important. An endeavour to improve diagnostic accuracy in deciding which angiographic lesions are haemodynamically significant led to the development of the concept of fractional flow reserve (FFR). Based on pressure-flow analysis of a stenosis during maximum…

The role of platelets in coronary artery thrombosis is well-established.1 They also play a critical role in a number of cardiovascular conditions including stroke, peripheral vascular disease and diabetes, and may be involved in the pathology underlying atherosclerotic changes.1 Antiplatelet agents such as clopidogrel, a platelet P2Y12 receptor antagonist, and aspirin are used for the prevention…

Coronary CTA has rapidly gone from a test with potential to be considered a first-line test for patients with stable chest pain.1 It provides robust ability to exclude atherosclerosis and coronary artery stenosis and more recently has been shown to inform and guide clinical treatment making in a fashion that enables a reduction in myocardial infarction when compared to traditional stress testing…
