Evaluation of the incidence of radial artery occlusion using different introducer sheaths and hemostasis techniques
19 Jul 2022
This retrospective observational study was undertaken in patients referred for transradial coronary angiography (CA) or PCI to assess the impact of sheath sizes and haemostasis techniques on RAO incidence.

Radial versus femoral access in ACS patients undergoing complex PCI is associated with consistent bleeding benefit and no excess of risk
18 Jul 2022
In this paper, the authors investigated the comparative efficacy and safety of TRA versus TFA in ACS patients undergoing complex PCI in the Minimizing Adverse Haemorrhagic Events by TRansradial Access Site and Systemic Implementation of angioX (MATRIX)-Access trial1.

3-year outcomes after a 2-stent with provision stenting for complex bifurcation lesions defined by DEFINITION criteria
06 Jul 2022
DEFINITION II was a randomised control trial comparing PCI in complex bifurcation lesions using a two-stent technique versus a provisional stenting strategy. At one year follow-up, a two-stent technique was superior to a provisional approach in true complex bifurcations. Here, the authors present the 3-year clinical outcomes...

Leaflet-to-annulus index and residual tricuspid regurgitation following tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair
21 Jun 2022
As the relationship between leaflet length and annular dimension becomes highly relevant in TR pathophysiology, the present study aimed to evaluate the impact of tricuspid leaflet-to-annulus mismatch on outcomes after T-TEER.
