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…

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…

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,…

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…

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…

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…
