One-year outcomes of angina management guided by invasive coronary function testing (CorMicA)

27 Nov 2019

CorMicA was a randomised control trial comparing medical therapy guided by invasive coronary function testing (CFR, IMR and acetylcholine provocation) versus standard care in 151 patients with symptoms and/or signs of ischaemia with no obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA).

Ticagrelor alone versus dual antiplatelet therapy from 1 month after drug-eluting coronary stenting

10 Nov 2019

One of the most discussed limitations of GLOBAL-LEADER is the lack of event adjudication so that the rate of MI, bleeding or stent thrombosis between the two groups were unknown. In this study, events were adjudicated in those patients from the 20 top-enrolling participating sites.

Ticagrelor with or without aspirin in high-risk patients after PCI

07 Oct 2019

The TWILIGHT trial was designed to test the hypothesis that in patients undergoing PCI who are at high risk for ischemic or hemorrhagic complications and who have completed a 3-month course of DAPT with ticagrelor plus aspirin, continued treatment with ticagrelor monotherapy would be superior to ticagrelor...

Same-day discharge after elective percutaneous coronary intervention: Insights from the British Cardiovascular Intervention Society

06 Aug 2019

The aim of this study was to evaluate national temporal trends in same-day discharge (SDD) and compare clinical outcomes with those among patients admitted for overnight stay undergoing elective PCI for stable angina.

Clinical outcomes of state-of-the-art percutaneous coronary revascularisation in patients with three-vessel disease: two-year follow-up of the SYNTAX II study

10 Jul 2019

The 2-year results of the SYNTAX II study seem to primarily underscore the potential to improve patient outcomes by refining the technique and technology of PCI.

Magnetic resonance perfusion or fractional flow reserve in coronary disease

04 Jul 2019

The MR-INFORM study sought to compare the outcomes of a cardiovascular MRI-based strategy to an FFR-based strategy for guiding revascularisation in anginal patients.
