Bench Testing Analysis of Perforation Management in the Setting of Bifurcation Coronary Intervention
ABSTRACT Background Management of coronary perforation in bifurcation lesions with covered stents remains challenging. Aims We aimed to describe a proper practice and toolbox for “jailed‐branch” management after covered stent deployment. Methods Using a bench model, we tested various wires with a 120° angulated microcatheter for their ability to ...

ABSTRACT Background Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is an uncommon but serious complication of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, often misinterpreted as primary pulmonary disease. Timely identification is essential to prevent irreversible injury and to guide appropriate referral for interventional management. Case Presentations Through the discussion of

ABSTRACT Introduction Moderate‐to‐severe calcification is present in ~20%–30% of patients undergoing coronary angiography. Coronary lesion modification is often necessary to facilitate optimal stent delivery and expansion, with several dedicated devices now approved for calcium modification before stent implantation. The CYCLOPES study aims to evaluate

Recurrent Acute Coronary Syndromes in a Patient with Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura
A 53-year-old man was admitted to a peripheral hospital with the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction without ST elevation. Due to the concomitant presence of first-diagnosed thrombocytopenia (platelet count 50.000/μL), it was decided to be treated ...

A randomized comparison of a sirolimus-eluting stent with a standard stent for coronary revascularization [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The need for repeated treatment of restenosis of a treated vessel remains the main limitation of percutaneous coronary revascularization.

ABSTRACT Coronary perforations are a dreaded complication for any interventional cardiologist. The treatment of this complication is exceptionally difficult when it occurs in a coronary bifurcation. While a conservative approach or a balloon occlusion might be sufficient in some cases, additional treatment is sometimes necessary.

Biological aspects of radiation and drug-eluting stents for the prevention of restenosis [PDF]
Based on recent advances, this article aims to review the biological basis for the use of either radiation or drug-eluting stents for the prevention of restenosis, and to elucidate the complementary role that they may play in the future.

Bioresorbable scaffolds: a new paradigm in percutaneous coronary intervention [PDF]
Numerous advances and innovative therapies have been introduced in interventional cardiology over the recent years, since the first introduction of balloon angioplasty, but bioresorbable scaffold is certainly one of the most exciting and attracting one ...

ABSTRACT Background Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), which combines aspirin with a P2Y12 receptor inhibitor, is considered the standard of care for patients who have had percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This study aimed to compare indobufen‐based (DAPT) to aspirin‐based (DAPT) after PCI.
