When dissection occurs during primary PCI
16 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
Discover the complexities surrounding dissection during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Immerse yourself in the challenges, implications and strategies employed to manage this critical scenario skillfully.
ACS: when a CABG is involved
16 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
Managing ACS in patients who have previously undergone Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting surgery requires careful consideration of their medical history, previous surgical procedures, and potential challenges posed by the surgical alterations. Elevate your comprehension of their management by observing an extensive collection of illustrative scenarios faced...

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.
Physiological assessment of epicardial vessels and the microcirculation
16 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
Need a refresher on this case-based session focusing on the physiological assessment of epicardial vessels and microcirculation? Check these slides highlighting some important studies on the subject.
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....
ECLS: technique of implantation and/or explantation of the cannula
14 Apr 2023
ECLS has become an important tool in the management of severe cardiogenic shock and refractory cardiac arrest, but is often complicated by bleeding ranging from nuisance to life-threatening. Therefore, deliberate management of the access site is of utmost importance.

A novel breakthrough in wrist-worn transdermal Troponin-I-Sensor assessment for acute myocardial infarction
23 Mar 2023
A transdermal-infrared spectrophotometric sensor (T-ISS) to assess troponins increase has been recently developed. This multicenter, observational study tested the feasibility of implementing this tool with machine learning analytics carried out in a cohort of patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome.

Essential drugs that every interventionalist needs to know
15 Dec 2022 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2022
In this GulfPCR-GIM 2022 session, learn about the role of PCSK9 inhibitors in ACS and post-PCI patients, the role of SGLT2 receptor blockers and GLP RAs, and the role of P2Y12 inhibitors as unique post-PCI antiplatelet agents.
Challenging ACS scenarios
14 Dec 2022 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2022
Topics in this GulfPCR-GIM 2022 session include the role of imaging in an unusual case of ACS in a young patient, PCI of an abnormal left coronary artery with AMI, embolisation of a thrombus in a non-culprit vessel during PCI in a late-presenting anterior STEMI, and...
First half of DK-Crush technique for bailout stenting of a true 0,0,1 bifurcation
09 Dec 2022
Stent implantation is largely debated in true 0,0,1 bifurcation lesion. This case shows bailout IVUS-guided stenting of a large diagonal branch after DEB-induced dissection, performed by employing the first half of the DK-Crush technique, thus avoiding stenting in the disease-free left anterior descending artery.

2-year outcomes of angiographic quantitative flow ratio-guided coronary interventions
23 Nov 2022
FAVOR-III China was an investigator-initiated, multicentre, randomised, blinded, sham-controlled trial comparing clinical outcomes of QFR versus angiography-guided strategies for the treatment of non-critical lesions in patients with stable or unstable angina, or MI, at least 72 hours prior to screening. The one-year results showed improved clinical...

Aspirin vs Clopidogrel for chronic maintenance monotherapy after percutaneous coronary intervention: the HOST-EXAM extended study
08 Nov 2022
The HOST-EXAM trial1 was a prospective, randomised, open-label trial investigating clopidogrel monotherapy versus aspirin therapy in patients undergoing PCI with DES who had completed 6-18 months of DAPT with no ischaemic or bleeding complications. At 24 months follow-up, clopidogrel monotherapy significantly reduced the risk of the...

Optical coherence tomography fractional flow reserve and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome
18 Oct 2022
Optical Coherence Tomography fractional flow reserve (OCT-FFR) has been shown to correlate well with wire-based FFR; however, clinical outcomes based on OCT-FFR are not well defined. In this retrospective study, the authors sought to investigate the relationship between OCT-FFR and long-term clinical outcomes in ACS.
