Use of Intracoronary Pressure Wire Assessment and Association With Outcomes: Insights From the British Cardiovascular Intervention Society National Database

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Despite recommendations in international guidelines, Intracoronary pressure wire assessment (PWA) utilization remains limited in clinical practice. This study aims to describe (i) trends of PWA during Percutaneous coronary interventional (PCI), (ii) factors that predict its application, and (iii) association with in‐hospital ...

A comparative study on the effect of coronary angioplasty on left ventricular function in post myocardial infarction among patients with and without type-2 diabetes mellitus [PDF]

open access: yesRomanian Medical Journal
Background and objectives. Coronary angioplasty is a common intervention for improving cardiac function postmyocardial infarction. However, the impact of this procedure in patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) compared to those without diabetes ...

A case of successful coronary angioplasty in an achondroplasia patient with total occlusion of an anomalous right coronary artery (case report)

open access: yesBMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2020
Background Coronary interventions in patients of achondroplasia have been reported rarely in the medical literature. Due to short stature and kyphoscoliosis, endovascular access (Cannulation) of the coronary arteries is usually extremely difficult in ...

Novel Use of Intravascular Lithotripsy for the Mobilization of an Entrapped Coronary Guidewire in a Heavily Calcified LAD/DB Bifurcation Lesion—A Case Report

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A 64‑year‑old man with a Non–ST‑elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) underwent coronary angiography, which revealed single‑vessel disease with a high‑grade proximal and a severely calcified mid‑LAD lesion just proximal to a diagonal branch (DB). Both the LAD and the DB were wired.

Five‐Year Clinical Outcomes of Biodegradable Versus Durable Polymer Drug‐Eluting Stents: A Propensity Score‐Matched Analysis of 4394 Patients

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Biodegradable‐polymer (BP) drug‐eluting stents (DES) were developed to mitigate potential late adverse events related to persistent durable polymers in durable‐polymer (DP) DES; however, contemporary long‐term real‐world comparative data remain limited. Aims We aimed to compare the 5‐year clinical outcomes of contemporary BP‐DES and

Unprotected Left Main Disease: Clinical Outcomes Following Deferral, Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting, or Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The prognostic benefit of revascularization for unprotected left main (LM) disease remains uncertain, as guideline endorsement of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) precludes comparison with deferral, which is unlikely to be assessed in a randomized trial.
