With an ageing population, the burden of peripheral artery diseases (PADs) is increasing. The treatment of these diseases has largely been performed by interventional radiologists, vascular surgeons and interventional cardiologists. In 2011, the percentage of procedures performed per specialty were 12.9 %, 45.0 % and 42.2 % for interventional radiology, vascular surgery and interventional…

Due to anatomical reasons and the distributive function of the coronary tree, bifurcation sites are prone to the development of atherosclerotic lesions as a result of flow turbulence generating pro-atherogenous low wall shear stress (WSS). Over the past few years, coronary bifurcation lesions have been the subject of intense therapeutic discussions fuelled by new definitions, classifications …

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…

The preferred treatment approach for bifurcation disease can be generally summed up as ‘keep it simple’, otherwise known as provisional stenting. Based on several contemporary studies, coronary interventionalists have settled on a minimalist approach: starting with a single-stent approach for the main vessel (MV) and ignoring side branch (SB) disease unless clinical circumstances warrant…

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…

Abstract
Both carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS) are associated with small, but clinically important and discrepant, rates of procedural complications, including cerebral and myocardial ischaemic events, cranial nerve injury and access site haematoma. Embolic protection devices (EPDs) may lower the rate of ipsilateral ischaemic events during CAS and are considered by…

Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is a common manifestation of atherosclerotic disease. Although the exact prevalence rate for the population as a whole is unknown, RAS is seen in a significant proportion of patients who present with another manifestation of atherosclerosis (Table 1).1–7 Despite this high degree of prevalence, the management of RAS, specifically the role of revascularisation, remains…
