A patient with NSTEMI and multivessel disease: culprit and non-culprit lesion management
16 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
Follow the discussion around 2 specific cases, a 72-year-old ex-smoker female patient with HTN, hyperlipidemia, previous TIA, COPD and stable lung cancer, and a 44-year-old male patient with T2DM, HTN, dyslipidemia, psoriasis and chest pain, and learn how to treat NSTEMI with MVD.
How can you determine the culprit lesion in NSTEMI?
16 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
Since patients with NSTEMI represent an important population in practice, Ziad Ali and Natalia Pinilla discuss the diagnosis of culprit lesions in such patients. The first tool to rely on is intravascular imaging, even if imaging does not yet allow the interpretation of ambiguous or residual lesions....

Standardised criteria for stent optimisation in imaging-guided PCI
18 May 2022 – From EuroPCR 2022
Achieving standardised criteria for stent optimisation in imaging-guided PCI can be challenging and requires correct analysis of the pre-PCI lesion anatomy, correct use of dedicated tools, and rigorous methodology, as this should not be at the expense of patient safety: this is the key message of...
