ABSTRACT Background Murray law‐based Quantitative Flow Ratio (μQFR) is an innovative AI‐driven method for evaluating coronary lesions using contrast flow velocity estimates. Unlike traditional approaches, μQFR does not require pressure wires or hyperemia induction.

ABSTRACT Background Directional coronary atherectomy (DCA) is effective for bifurcation lesions but carries a risk of coronary perforation, due to geographical and recognition errors during the procedure. Geographical errors involve incorrect targeting of plaque‐free areas, whereas recognition errors stem from the misinterpretation of visual ...

ABSTRACT Background Coronary bifurcation lesions (CBL) account for ~20% of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). When using provisional stenting, optimal management of a diseased side branch (SB) remains debated. Drug‐coated balloons (DCBs) are an emerging option, but data on their role in CBL PCI are limited.

Revascularization: Reflections of a Clinician
In this supplement to the Journal of the American College of Cardiology , we are treated to a superb recount of the history, birth, growth and development of coronary revascularization as it exists today in the form of coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) and percutaneous ...

ABSTRACT Background Clinical studies have demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of drug‐coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty for femoropopliteal revascularization. Long‐term studies in routine practice are limited. Aims The aim of this study was to assess long‐term outcomes after DCB angioplasty for femoropopliteal peripheral artery disease in a real ...

ABSTRACT Background Coronary artery vasospasm following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a rare but potentially life‐threatening complication that can lead to myocardial ischemia, arrhythmias, and cardiogenic shock. Nitroglycerin‐resistant vasospasm, particularly involving the left main coronary artery (LMCA), poses significant diagnostic and ...

ABSTRACT Background Stent underexpansion significantly heightens the risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE), and available treatment options for this condition remain limited. Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) technology disrupts superficial and deep calcium by using localized pulsative sonic pressure waves, emerges as a promising tool for ...

ABSTRACT Background Up to 50% of patients with ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) develop coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD). Aims This study aims to assess whether a prothrombotic state of coronary blood, defined by thromboelastography (TEG), is associated with post ...

ABSTRACT Background Treating ostial left circumflex artery (LCx) lesions in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for left main disease (LMD) remains a challenge. Despite recent recommendations for the use of drug‐coated balloon (DCB) in this lesion, there are concerns about crossover‐stenting from the left main trunk (LMT) to the left anterior ...

ABSTRACT Background The effects of phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors on the incidence of long‐term outcomes in patients with cardiovascular disease are not well understood. Objective: We studied the association between PDE5 inhibitor therapy and the incidence of adverse cardiovascular major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients ...
