Dr Gregg W Stone (Mount Sinai Heart Health System, New York, US) and Dr Harriette Van Spall (McMaster University, Hamilton, CA) discuss the latest results from the ISCHEMIA trial.
The trial assessed the impact of completeness of revascularization on clinical outcomes in patients with stable ischemic heart disease treated with an invasive versus conservative strategy.

Pediatric interventional cardiology was born 40 years ago in 1966, when William Rashkind developed balloon septostomy in neonates with transposition of the great arteries.1 Almost a decade later, Andreas Gruentzig developed coronary angioplasty (between 1972 and 1976), which heralded an explosive era of interventional therapy for adults with heart disease, overshadowing the advances in…

This article examines the initial results of the authorÔÇÖs experience to date with percutaneous left ventricular assist (LVA) support of patients in cardiogenic shock, and for temporary left heart support in the setting of high-risk percutaneous intervention. Despite evolving procedural methods, 16 of 18 patients in this study survived to hospital discharge. Intraprocedural complications were…

Background
Since the first successful implantation of a prosthetic heart valve four decades ago, over 50 different designs have been developed including both mechanical and bioprosthetic valves. Today, with over 200,000 implants worldwide each year, the most widely implanted design is the mechanical bileaflet prosthesis. Several other mechanical valves are currently available and many of them…

For many cardiac arrhythmias, catheter cryoablation is now a safe and effective alternative to RF ablation. Freezor┬«, a 7F cryocatheter, has been in clinical use in Europe, Canada and the US for several years. In that time, it has established a record of safety and effectiveness in the treatment of arrhythmias, particularly in peri-nodal procedures. With its demonstrated safety profile -…

Cardiac pacing has evolved considerably over the years from its initial introduction as a lifesaving measure by asynchronous ventricular pacing. Pitfalls of ventricular-only pacing were recognized relatively early, which led to the introduction of atrioventricular (AV) synchronous pacing that was subjected to rigorous clinical studies.1 A meta-analysis of major pacing mode trials revealed that AV…
