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…

In this interview from CRT 2022, Dr Toby Rogers (MedStar Washington Hospital Center, Washington DC, WA, US) outlines the procedure for transcatheter mitral cerclage ventriculoplasty in patients with mitral regurgitation and either HFrEF or HFpEF. Dr Rogers provides a step-by-step overview of the procedure and presents the outcomes of this early feasibility trial. Results suggest that the TMCA…

Reports of late stent thrombosis following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents started to emerge in 2005 and 2006, causing widespread alarm and a substantial reduction in their use.1,2 Research-led advances in pharmacology and stent design have done much to allay this alarm, but nevertheless late stent thrombosis (LST) remains a concern for coronary interventionists…

Over the past 30 years, several percutaneous transcatheter technologies and devices for interventions in structural heart diseases (SHDs) have been introduced (see Table 1). There are numerous technologies that are in development or are currently being used to treat patients with SHD that use transcatheter techniques. The variety of percutaneous treatment approaches has led to a revolution and…

A bifurcation lesion within the coronary arterial circulation is defined as a stenosis occurring at, or adjacent to, a significant division of a major epicardial coronary artery.1 Bifurcation lesions account for 1–20% of all percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs), and treatment remain technically challenging despite advances in PCI techniques and third-generation drug-eluting stent (DES)…

Chronic total occlusions (CTO) are a common finding at angiography in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD); they are present in ~20% of cases at angiography (excluding those with acute MI or prior coronary artery bypass graft (CABG).1 Data from the same Canadian registry showed that only 10% of CTO patients had had a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) attempted to treat CTO, with…
