ABSTRACT Background Fractional flow reserve (FFR) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can be used to evaluate procedural success and to guide stent optimization. Several studies have demonstrated that lower FFR after stent implantation is associated with increased adverse event rates up to 2 years.

Successful Bail-Out Stenting for Iatrogenic Right Coronary Artery Dissection in a Young Male
Catheter-induced coronary artery dissection is a serious complication of coronary angiography. Percutaneous intervention is usually indicated in case of large spiral dissections, however, wiring into the true lumen can be challenging.

ABSTRACT Background Coronary calcification is a well‐known marker of atherosclerotic plaque burden and a determinant of stent under expansion with unfavorable long‐term outcomes. Aims This sub study of the randomized BIOVASC trial aimed to compare immediate complete revascularization (ICR) and staged complete revascularization (SCR) in patients with ...

3D Distance-color-coded Assessment of PCI Stent Apposition via Deep-learning-based Three-dimensional Multi-object Segmentation [PDF]
Coronary artery disease poses a significant global health challenge, often necessitating percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent implantation. Assessing stent apposition holds pivotal importance in averting and identifying PCI complications that lead to in-stent restenosis.

Enhanced Drug Effect With Cutting Balloon Followed by Drug Coated Balloon in a Rabbit Model
ABSTRACT Background Drug‐coated balloon (DCB) are effective treatment options for patients with coronary artery disease and using of scoring or cutting balloon before the DCB usage were recommended. However, the effectiveness of lesion preparation with cutting balloons (CB) followed by DCB (CB + DCB) has not been evaluated before.

The Impact of Hydrostatic Pressure on Fractional Flow Reserve in Saphenous Vein Grafts
ABSTRACT Background The relationship between height differences related to graft anatomy and physiological pressure indices in coronary bypass grafts has not been studied. We sought to study the impact of hydrostatic pressure on fractional flow reserve (FFR) in saphenous vein grafts (SVGs).
