Coronary Artery Vasculopathy in a Cohort of Heart Transplant Recipients: A Single Center Experience
ABSTRACT Background Coronary allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is a significant cause of late mortality in heart transplant recipients. This study assesses the development of CAV, associated rejection rates, and the potential impact of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on survival in a cohort of heart transplant patients.

Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Primary PCI refers to mechanical recanalisation of occluded artery with a balloon catheter without prior administration of thrombolytic therapy in acute STEMI. Primary PCI is a very effective method for reestablishing coronary perfusion, with reported rates of TIMI-3 flow about 90%.

ABSTRACT Background Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) is an innovative treatment for coronary artery calcification (CAC). Aims This study aimed to compare procedural and clinical outcomes of intracoronary imaging (ICI)‐guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus angiography‐guided PCI with IVL in patients with CAC.

Fractional flow reserve versus angiography in guiding management to optimize outcomes in non–ST-elevation myocardial infarction (FAMOUS-NSTEMI): rationale and design of a randomized controlled clinical trial [PDF]
<p>Background: In patients with acute non–ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), coronary arteriography is usually recommended; but visual interpretation of the angiogram is subjective.
