Imaging in Coronary Interventions

A 52-year-old male, with a history of STEMI treated by PPCI on RCA one month ago, presents with angina CCS 2 and severe, calcified stenosis in the LAD, CX, and distal left main. The treatment involved implanting 2 stents in the LAD after Rota preparation, followed...

More than ever, Heart Team members rely on advanced imaging to guide procedures and aid in decision-making about patient selection and management. Just as imaging plays a prominent role in the cathlab, so it will be central to this year's EuroPCR content, with a track of specially...

Join Vijay Kunadian and Salvatore Brugaletta as they talk about the latest ESC guidelines for MINOCA (Myocardial Infarction with Non-Obstructive Coronary Arteries). Together, they review the crucial aspects of identifying MINOCA patients, how to diagnose them effectively using available diagnostic tools and the importance of post-treatment...

This EIJ image illustrates a crucial case, emphasizing the importance of confirming wire position in the true lumen during dissection and re-entry techniques in CTO PCI.

The trial aimed to establish the non-inferiority of QCA-guided PCI compared to IVUS-guided PCI with respect to the primary endpoint of TLF at 12 months, defined as a composite of cardiac death, target vessel MI, or ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization.

In the absence of other arterial access, this step-by-step tutorial shows how to perform anterograde angiography of the arterial axis after removal of the large sheath, making it easier to recognise and rapidly manage vascular complications such as arterial lesions and haemostasis failure.

View a series of commented slides illustrating major takeaways from a network meta-analysis of Coronary Angiography, Intravascular Ultrasound, and Optical Coherence Tomography in the Guidance of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. These slides and comments were originally shared via Twitter upon the occasion of the 2024 Cardiovascular Research...

Marco Spagnolo and Daniele Giacoppo report the main results of the IVUS-ACS trial presented by Shao-Liang Chen, from the Nanjing First Hospital, Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, in a Featured Clinical Research session at ACC.24 in Atlanta and simultaneously published in The Lancet.(1)
