Comprehensive diagnosis in chronic coronary syndromes combining angiography and intracoronary testing: the AID-ANGIO study
18 Feb 2025
The authors hypothesized that enriching invasive coronary angiography (ICA) with an advanced invasive diagnosis (AID) strategy would increase the diagnostic yield of obstructive and non-obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA).

Computed tomography versus near-infrared spectroscopy for the assessment of coronary atherosclerosis
17 Feb 2025
NIRS-IVUS offers precise assessment of coronary artery pathology but is invasive and limited in scope, while CCTA is emerging as a non-invasive alternative for comprehensive plaque evaluation.

Precision PCI in the era of AI and multimodality imaging
13 Jan 2025
Nailing the ostium of LAD, although technically challenging, can be precisely done with mandatory intracoronary imaging. It is essential to rule out disease extension into left main artery as, otherwise, cross over LM-LAD stenting strategy would be preferable. CTCA can help the interventionist plan the PCI,...

Stepwise OCT for treatment optimization in provisional approach of bifurcated coronary lesions
10 Jan 2025
OCT provides information of the accuracy of every maneuver performed during the treatment of bifurcation lesions. We can clearly see if the POT achieves proximal stent apposition, if the side branch wire crosses through the correct cell, and the impact of final kissing-balloon inflation on stent geometry.

Left main bifurcation instent restenosis - LIVE case
18 Dec 2024 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2024
A 76-year-old male with a history of LM PCI (2-stent strategy), RCA PCI, reduced LV function (25%), diabetes, and CKD presented with worsening angina. Angiography revealed in-stent restenosis at the ostium of the LAD and CX, along with RCA occlusion.
The procedure was performed with axillary Impella...
Optical coherence tomography predictors of clinical outcomes after stent implantation: the ILUMIEN IV trial
04 Nov 2024
The aim of this pre-specified analysis of the ILUMIEN IV trial was to assess the relationship between post-PCI OCT parameters of suboptimal stent implantation and clinical outcomes.
