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

Left Main Coronary Artery (LMCA) intervention is challengingto the operator due to a wide array of factors as compared to treating other stenosis elsewhere in the coronary tree. Complications arising from hemodynamic instability, lack of proximal reference angiographically and lesion preparation due to a higher rate of atherosclerosis make LM Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) by far the most complex… View more

Feasibility, Safety, and Clinical Performance of Self-apposing Stents for Left Main Stenosis
Author(s): Krzysztof Pujdak , Jan Kähler , Marc Werner Added: 3 years ago
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… View more

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Chronic Total Occlusion
Author(s): Giovanni Maria Vescovo , Carlo Zivelonghi , Benjamin Scott , et al Added: 3 years ago
Coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO), defined as complete occlusion of a coronary artery for at least 3 months with thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) grade 0 flow, represents one of the most complex situations in the field of interventional cardiology.1 Despite an incidence of CTO in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing coronary angiography of 18–46%, the… View more

Cardiovascular ultrasound is an established imaging modality in the practice of cardiovascular disease (CVD), whether this is provided by a CV specialist or health professionals with training in internal medicine. Transthoracic imaging wherein the transducer is placed on the chest wall has some limitations. These include inadequate quality of images resulting in poor informationÔÇöapproximately 5… 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

Both the art and the science of echocardiography have made tremendous strides in the 50 years since their earliest origins. In its modern-day form, echocardiography maintains a legacy of bedside utility while adopting many of the technologic advances ushered in by the digital era. As a result, it boasts a broad and growing spectrum of application including routine use in primary cardiac diagnosis… View more
