Comparison of stent geometry achieved by different side-branch ballooning techniques for bifurcation provisional stenting: the CRABBIS Trial
31 Mar 2025
Which ballooning technique is best after main vessel stenting in bifurcation PCI? This two-part study compares two key approaches: PKP (POT, kissing balloon inflation, final POT) and PSP (POT, isolated side branch dilation, final POT) to determine the optimal strategy.

Coronary sinus reducer for the treatment of refractory angina: A randomised, placebo-controlled trial (ORBITA-COSMIC)
08 Apr 2024
Aaysha Cader interviews Rasha Al-Lamee and Michael Foley about the results of the ORBITA-COSMIC trial presented at ACC.24 in Atlanta.
Results showed that coronary sinus reducer relieved angina symptoms but lacked evidence of increased blood flow to the heart. While beneficial for refractory angina patients, its mechanism remains...
