ESC 2023 — Dr Gregg Stone (Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, US) shares the findings from a real-time updated network meta-analysis comparing OCT, IVUS and Angiography guidance in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures.
The OCTOBER and ILUMIEN IV randomised trials both studied OCT-guided versus angiography-guided PCI. This analysis compared the overall effects of…

Coronary angioplasty has revolutionized the treatment of coronary artery disease. Over the past two decades the field has seen numerous innovations in an attempt to perfect the percutaneous management of coronary atherosclerotic disease. The development of coronary stenting was a major advance in preventing elastic recoil and treating dissections following balloon angioplasty.1 Unfortunately,…

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…

Prof Dean J Kereiakes (The Lindner Research Center at The Christ Hospital, Cincinnati, OH, US) co-principal investigator of the DAPT Study, discusses the effectiveness of short-term DAPT in the prevention of stent thrombosis following stent implantation.
Questions:
1. How does the duration of DAPT affect clinical outcomes?
2. Why is there a debate about DAPT duration?
3. What is the clinical…

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…

Percutaneous coronary revascularization has revolutionized modern cardiovascular care. It has become one of the most well-studied and frequently performed procedures in modern medicine and is currently performed in more than 900,000 patients per year, exceeding the rate of coronary bypass surgery. It is used in an increasingly large number of patient subsets and used to treat an increasingly…
