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.

Duration of DAPT in high bleeding risk and FFR guided PCI vs. CABG for TVD: a guide to interpreting non-inferiority trials

07 Oct 2022 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2022

Take advantage of this AICT-AsiaPCR 2022 session to learn in detail about the FAME 3 and MASTER-DAPT trials and how to use their results in daily practice, and to better understand what is behind the term "non-inferiority" and when and how to choose a non-inferiority margin.

Revascularisation for Ischemic heart failure: is PCI as good as CABG?

27 Sep 2022

Pamela Gatto interviews Volkmar Falk, Cardiovascular Surgeon, and Dejan Milasinovic, Interventional Cardiologist, to get their perspective about the results of the REVIVED-BCIS2 trial.

The 3 questions are:

  1. What were your first thoughts and feelings when the findings from REVIVED were presented at ESC 2022?
  2. In STICH(es), CABG had a...

BYPASS-CTCA: The value of computed tomography cardiac angiography in improving patient satisfaction and reducing contrast load, procedural duration and complications in patients who had previous CABG undergoing invasive coronary angiography

19 Sep 2022

Nicola Ryan provides her take on the BYPASS-CTCA Study which was presented by Daniel A. Jones at the TCT Congress 2022.

It must be understood that the paper has yet to be published for this study therefore all assumptions are based upon the presented data.

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...
