Abstract
The basic equipment involved in percutaneous coronary interventions - guiding catheters, guide wires and dilation catheters (balloons) - have undergone significant evolution which has allowed for improvements in procedural success and safety. The coronary interventionalist should possess a thorough working knowledge of the available equipment and the ability to select specific equipment…

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…

Definition and Prevalence
Nowadays it is widely accepted to define chronic total occlusions (CTOs) of the coronary artery as lesions with thrombolysis in myocardial infarction 0 flow for more than three months (either angiographically proven or with high clinical likelihood).1 Occlusions of less than four weeks following an acute infarction are defined as acute or subacute and occlusions of…

CRT 23 - In this short interview from CRT's 2023 Scientific Sessions, we are joined by Dr Joost Daemen (Thoraxcenter, Erasmus University Medical Center, NL) to outline the FAST III Trial, sponsored by the European Cardiovascular Research Institute. In this study, over 2000 patients were randomized in a 1:1 manner, to vFFR or FFR guided revascularization for the treatment of coronary artery…

Radial vs Femoral Access
In recent years several large registries and randomised controlled trials have demonstrated a mortality benefit for trans-radial over trans-femoral percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), likely mediated by reduced bleeding complications.1–4 Building on the pioneering Japanese experience, the advent of the hybrid algorithim approach, coupled with innovative new…

The increased incidence of coronary artery disease, as well as the advances in device technology and improved potentialities of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), have resulted in a dramatic rise in the number of invasive coronary procedures (both diagnostic catheterisations and PCIs).1 These procedures normally used the transfemoral access, which involves the insertion of a catheter…

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…
