Interventional Cardiovascular Surgery

Cardiac surgery is surgery on the heart or great vessels performed by cardiac surgeons. It is often used to treat complications of ischemic heart disease (for example, with coronary artery bypass grafting) or to treat valvular heart disease from various causes. Cardiac surgeons, interventional cardiologists and imaging specialists typically work together as the Heart Team, in particular in structural heart centres of excellence. In this section, you will find a selection of content in the field of interventional vardiovascular surgery.

Everolimus-eluting stents or bypass surgery for mutivessel coronary artery disease: 10-year outcomes of multicenter randomized controlled BEST trial

20 Sep 2022

Nicola Ryan provides her take on the BEST trial which was presented by Jung-Min Ahn at TCT 2022.

It is a randomised, multicentre, non-inferiority trial comparing PCI with second-generation everolimus-eluting stents and CABG in patients with non-left main multivessel coronary artery disease. At two-year follow-up PCI was shown...

Prognostic impact of extra–mitral valve cardiac involvement in patients with primary mitral regurgitation

17 Jun 2022

This report builds up the evidence on the relevance of extra-valvular cardiac damage staging / involvement as a main predictor of adverse events in patients with VHD undergoing intervention, either surgical or percutaneous.

Haemodynamic performance and clinical outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement with the self-expanding ACURATE Neo2

09 Jun 2022

The ACURATE neo2 valve was developed to reduce the risk of paravalvular AR with an increased sealing skirt. This retrospective study aimed to compare TAVI with the ACURATE neo and neo2 devices.

Angina: when coronary curtery is not the problem

19 May 2022 – From EuroPCR 2022

Don't miss this session focusing on angina by exploring 5 different cases, including a challenging graft aneurysm, a vein graft perforation after CABG not related to PCI and an unusual case of tortuosity in a two-year-old child...

Dealing with complex and high-risk interventions

18 May 2022 – From EuroPCR 2022

Thanks to these seven clinical cases, you will be able to learn how to manage risky and complex interventions, including a case of complex triple bifurcation lesions, a high-risk PCI case and a successful kissing balloon technique in transradial PCI.

Geographical variations in left main coronary artery revascularisation: a prespecified analysis of the EXCEL trial

14 Feb 2022

The purpose of the prespecified subanalysis of the EXCEL (Evaluation of XIENCE versus Coronary artery bypass surgery for Effectiveness of Left main revascularization) trial was to determine whether the outcomes remained consistent regardless of geography.
