Revolutionising coronary calcium treatment: unleashing the potential of intravascular lithotripsy

21 Sep 2023 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2023

Over the last five years, we have learned that there is a new tool for treating calcium, the greatest enemy of interventional cardiology, which can take various forms: intravascular lithotripsy. In this session, look at how to master this technique in different scenarios, from eccentric calcified...

Bifurcation left main stenting with or without intracoronary imaging: Outcomes from the EBC MAIN trial

08 Aug 2023

This sub-analysis of EBC MAIN aimed to determine if intracoronary imaging use during LM bifurcation PCI was associated with fewer MACE, for patients treated with a planned dual‐stenting strategy versus provisional strategy.

Stepwise provisional versus systematic culotte for stenting of true coronary bifurcation lesions: five-year follow-up of the multicentre randomised EBC TWO Trial

16 Jun 2023

The investigator initiated, multicentre, randomised, EBC TWO trial compared a provisional strategy with a systematic culotte technique in patients with true non-LMS bifurcation disease. At one year, there was no difference between the groups in terms of the composite endpoint of all-cause mortality, MI or TVR....

The 17th expert consensus document of the European Bifurcation Club – techniques to preserve access to the side branch during stepwise provisional stenting

15 Jun 2023

Provisional stenting (PS) is the default approach for treating most coronary bifurcation lesions (CBL). The side branch (SB) can be compromised after main vessel (MV) stenting in up to 6-18 % of cases. The 17th Expert consensus document of the European Bifurcation Club details strategies for...
