Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) consisting of aspirin and a P2Y12 inhibitor is prescribed in the treatment of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation. An important misconception remains that DAPT should be prescribed to prevent stent thrombosis. Although this may seem obvious, it should be emphasized that the… View more

Abstract Coronary artery disease in patients with diabetes is frequently a diffuse process with multivessel involvement and is associated with increased risk for myocardial infarction and death. The role of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with diabetes and multivessel disease who require revascularization has been debated and… View more

“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,… View more

Intravascular Ultrasound-guided Versus Angiography-guided Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Evidence from Observational Studies and Randomized Controlled Trials
Author(s): Xiao-Fei Gao , Xiang-Quan Kong , Guang-Feng Zuo , et al Added: 3 years ago
Coronary angiography is widely used to diagnose coronary artery disease and to guide percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, 2D projection angiography cannot completely reflect the 3D coronary lumen, with several inherent limitations in evaluating plaque composition, vessel diameter, diffuse reference vessel disease, lesion severity, as well as the result of stent deployment. In the… View more

TWILIGHT: A Randomized Trial of Ticagrelor Monotherapy Versus Ticagrelor Plus Aspirin Beginning at 3 Months in High-risk Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Author(s): Johny Nicolas , Usman Baber , Roxana Mehran Added: 3 years ago
Seminal clinical trials conducted in the balloon angioplasty and bare metal stent era established the superiority of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) as compared with aspirin monotherapy or anticoagulation with respect to the prevention of thrombotic events.1,2 Other studies found that the benefits of DAPT are durable for at least 1 year and extend to patients with acute coronary syndromes.3–5… View more

Anticoagulation
Author(s): Olivier F Bertrand , Tift Mann Added: 3 years ago
The highlights of the last decade in interventional cardiology have been the introduction of drug-eluting stents and an overall simplification of percutaneous coronary interventional procedures from a technological standpoint. Indeed, most interventions currently consist of either direct stenting or pre-dilatation followed by stent implantation; the use of rotational atherectomy and other niche… View more

Role of Intravascular Ultrasound in Guiding Complex Percutaneous Coronary Interventions
Author(s): Brandon Quintana , Akram Ibrahim Added: 3 years ago
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been rapidly evolving since its initial application in 1977. Over the years, it has become a mainstay of the treatment of coronary artery disease, including acute coronary syndromes and stable ischemic heart disease. With the advent of novel ancillary technologies, such as intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT), it has… View more
