Flow-volume curve analysis for predicting recurrence after endoscopic dilation of airway stenosis [PDF]
The flow-volume curve is a simple test for diagnosing upper airway obstruction. We evaluated its use to predict recurrence in patients undergoing endoscopic dilation for treatment of benign upper airway ...

Nationwide Analysis of PCI After TAVR From the Netherlands Heart Registration
ABSTRACT Background Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has gained interest as concomitant coronary artery disease (CAD) is now often treated conservatively before TAVR, and TAVR is increasingly used in younger patients with longer life expectancies. Therefore, more contemporary data on PCI after

Effect of stent inflation pressure and post-dilatation on the outcome of coronary artery intervention. A report of more than 90,000 stent implantations. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) stent inflation pressure correlates to angiographic lumen improvement and stent expansion but the relation to outcome is not clarified.

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.

Mechanistic Insights Into How Rewiring and Bifurcation Angle Affect DK‐Crush Stent Deployment
ABSTRACT Background Double kissing crush (DKC) is a preferred two‐stent technique for complex coronary bifurcation lesions. Proximal cell rewiring is routinely recommended to reduce technical failure, and DKC is considered effective across various bifurcation angles. However, it remains unclear whether this standard approach is optimal for all patients.

ASCORE: an up-to-date cardiovascular risk score for hypertensive patients reflecting contemporary clinical practice developed using the (ASCOT-BPLA) trial data. [PDF]
A number of risk scores already exist to predict cardiovascular (CV) events. However, scores developed with data collected some time ago might not accurately predict the CV risk of contemporary hypertensive patients that benefit from more modern ...

Delayed Restenosis after Gamma Brachytherapy for In‐Stent Restenosis
Intracoronary brachytherapy is a promising modality for inhibition of in‐stent restenosis. However, there is a concern of late progression after brachytherapy. This case report describes delayed restenosis after brachytherapy.

From the nationwide multicenter consortium, 8,163 patients undergoing drug‐eluting stent implantation were classified according to the presence of the CYP2C19 loss‐of‐function (LoF) allele: rapid or normal metabolizers (RMs/NMs) vs. intermediate or poor metabolizers (IMs/PMs), and clinical risk was stratified using the CHADS‐P2A2RC and TRS 2°P scores ...

The optimal treatment of multivessel coronary artery disease [PDF]
The practice of percutaneous coronary intervention has overtaken coronary bypass surgery in the treatment of ischaemic heart disease. Several randomized controlled as well as registry and observational trials have addressed the issue of patient selection
