Type and Duration of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy in Complex Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Author(s): Dimitrios Alexopoulos , Charalampos Varlamos , Despoina-Rafailia Benetou Added: 3 years ago
Complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) usually refers to procedures that include bifurcation with two stents implanted, the treatment of three or more lesions, the implantation of three or more stents, total stent length >60 mm, or a chronic total occlusion (CTO).1 However, as there is no universal definition, other features, such as left main (LM) or proximal left anterior… 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

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
