ABSTRACT Background Calcified nodules (CN) and nodular calcifications (NC) present significant challenges during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) because of their protruding morphology and high rigidity, which often result in inadequate stent expansion and suboptimal procedural outcomes.

ABSTRACT Background There are limited data evaluating the association between operator−patient sex, and outcomes in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods We included 138,112 consecutive PCI procedures in patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in England and Wales, 2017−2020.

ABSTRACT Introduction The prevalence of bioprosthetic aortic valve failure is increasing due to the broader use of bioprosthetic valves, both surgical and transcatheter, and an ageing population. Registry data indicate a higher risk of coronary obstruction and elevated gradients following valve‐in‐valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI ...

Clinical Outcomes of Drug‐Eluting Stents and Drug‐Coated Balloons in Tortuous Small Coronary Lesions
ABSTRACT Background In small, tortuous coronary lesions, the long‐term comparative performance of drug‐coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty versus drug‐eluting stent (DES) treatment remains uncertain, despite both strategies being widely used in contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) practice. Aims This study aimed to compare 3‐year clinical

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 ...

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
