Significant stenosis of the left main (LM) coronary artery is observed in 7% of coronary angiographies.1 Coronary artery bypass grafting has traditionally been the treatment of choice. In recent years, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has evolved as an alternative, especially for low and intermediate SYNTAX score patients.2 However, during PCI of bifurcation lesions, approximately 50% of…

“When you fail to prepare, you’re preparing to fail.”
– Coach John Wooden
Ongoing technological and procedural innovations increasingly permit the safe and effective performance of ever more high-risk and complex percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in the modern cardiac catheterization laboratory. Anatomic characteristics of higher risk include unprotected distal left main stenosis,…

The prevalence of heart disease in pregnant women is estimated to be between 0.1 and 4%; although the prevalence has not changed for decades, the relative contribution of different types of heart disease varies according to the study population and the study period. Nowadays, in developed countries the largest group of females with an underlying heart disease consists of women with congenital…

The introduction of percutaneous coronary angioplasty in 1977 by Dr Andreas Grüntzig1 was one of the most remarkable achievements in the cardiology realm, opening the door to numerous advancements in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs). Due to advances in PCI techniques over the past four decades, catheters along with four generations of coronary stents have dramatically changed the…
