ABSTRACT Background Accurate dimensional measurements are critical for quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) and serve as the first step in angiography‐based fractional flow reserve (FFR) calculations. Aims To compare minimum lumen diameter (MLD) measurements across multiple QCA or anigo‐based FFR software programs using phantom models.

ABSTRACT Background Limited data is available on long‐term outcomes and valve durability measures of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Aims This study sought to assess clinical and echocardiographic outcomes of high‐risk patients during the early experience of TAVI with a follow‐up period extending beyond 10 years.

ABSTRACT Background As a cardiac interventional procedure, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is increasingly becoming the most widely adopted across the globe. With increasing implementation in practice, the use of PCI registries to evaluate safety and effectiveness has grown internationally.

ABSTRACT Background Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) has emerged as a promising treatment for heavily calcified coronary lesions. However, evidence regarding its effectiveness in calcific bifurcation lesions remains limited. Objective We aimed to evaluate the technical success and 1‐year clinical outcomes of IVL in calcified coronary bifurcation lesions.

ABSTRACT Background Valve‐in‐valve (ViV) procedures are an established therapy. Self‐expanding (SE) supra‐annular transcatheter heart valves (THV) achieve superior hemodynamics compared to balloon‐expandable (BE) intra‐annular THV, but influence of stent design versus valve position remains unclear.

Breaking the Barrier: Unraveling the No‐Reflow Phenomenon in Cardiovascular Medicine
ABSTRACT The no‐reflow phenomenon is a stubborn and often devastating complication in cardiovascular medicine, where blood flow is restored to an artery, yet the microvasculature remains unresponsive. First identified in 1967, this phenomenon has haunted clinicians and researchers alike, particularly in the context of acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
