Many profound physiological changes take place in the cardiovascular system during pregnancy to meet the increased metabolic demands of both the mother and foetus. Such changes include an increase in circulating blood volume and cardiac output and decreases in systemic vascular resistance, blood pressure and hypercoagulation.1,2 The increase in circulatory burden during pregnancy and the… View more

They succeeded in arresting the neo-intimal proliferation, which was the bane of coronary stents.1 Over a period of time, however, the polymeric degradation by-products failed to bring about an essential component of the healing process: endothelialisation. Failure of… View more

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is the first catheter-based imaging modality that has been widely used in interventional cardiology.1 It creates cross-sectional images of the vessel lumen and the arterial wall and provides valuable diagnostic information to angiography regarding lumen and vessel measurements and plaque morphology. This information helps clinical decision-making in ambiguous… View more

Author(s): George D Dangas Added: 2 years ago
Dr George Dangas (Mount Sinai Hospital, New York, NY, US) discusses the results of the TWILIGHT-Stent trial, presented at ESC 2021. This study examined the incidence of ischemic and bleeding events in patients treated with contemporary drug-eluting stents over 3-15 months. This trial also examined ticagrelor monotherapy vs ticagrelor with aspirin. Questions: 1. What were the main aims of… View more
