TCT 22: FAME 3: FFR-Guided PCI Vs CABG in Pts With Multivessel CAD
Author(s): Yuhei Kobayashi Added: 1 year ago
TCT 22 - In this short interview, Dr Yuhei Kobayashi (Albert Einstein College of Medicine, NY, US) joins us to discuss the findings of a substudy of the FAME 3 trial, which aimed to compare FFR-Guided percutaneous coronary Intervention with coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) in a cohort of patients with multivessel CAD. In this trial, patients with multivessel disease were randomized to… View more

TWILIGHT-HBR: Ticagrelor Monotherapy in HBR Patients Undergoing PCI
Author(s): Davide Cao Added: 2 years ago
Dr Davide Cao (Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, US) discusses the key results and impact on clinical practice of the pre-specified analysis of the TWILIGHT trial presented at ESC Congress 2021. TWILIGHT-HBR evaluated the effects of ticagrelor monotherapy versus ticagrelor (Brilinta) plus aspirin on bleeding and ischemic outcomes in a contemporary ARC-defined HBR population undergoing… View more

Proximal Side Optimization: A Modification of the Double Kissing Crush Technique
Author(s): Francesco Lavarra Added: 3 years ago
True coronary bifurcations (Medina 1,1,1 and most of 1,0,1 and 0,1,1) with side branch (SB) diameter of >2.25 mm and lesion length of >10 mm are likely to require two-stent treatment techniques (Figure 1A).1,2 The Crush technique underwent a series of technical iterations and modifications by Chen et al. before evolving into the so-called mini double kissing Crush (DK-Crush) technique.3,4 … View more

Vasa vasora are the blood supply of the artery itself, originating in the adventitia in response to the arterial wall’s nutritional requirements. The presence of a thicker tunica media or neointima requires the development of vasa vasorum to meet the metabolic demands of the arterial wall, since diffusion from the arterial lumen alone is insufficient. Over 40 years ago Wolinsky and Glagov… View more

Over the past 35 years, treatment of coronary artery disease and acute coronary syndrome has changed drastically. Balloon angioplasty offered an early mechanical solution but carried a high risk for acute complications and subsequent restenosis, mainly from recoil. The bare metal stent (BMS) improved restenosis because of recoil, but still carried a relatively high rate of restenosis because of… View more

Between a Rock and a Hard Place: How to Use Antithrombotics in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
Author(s): Mathew R Williams , Kelsey Grossman , Homam Ibrahim Added: 3 years ago
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become the preferred method for management of severe aortic stenosis in patients who are at high and intermediate surgical risk. Short-term data have been presented from two studies comparing TAVR versus surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in low surgical risk patients. The Placement of Aortic Transcatheter Valves 3 (PARTNER 3) trial compared… View more
