Timing and predictors of definite stent thrombosis in comatose survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention and therapeutic hypothermia (ST-OHCA study)
09 Aug 2022
The ST-OHCA study is a single centre prospective study investigating the incidence, timing and predictors of definite stent thrombosis in comatose survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) undergoing immediate PCI and therapeutic hypothermia.

Polymer-based versus polymer-free stents in high bleeding risk patients: final 2-year results from Onyx ONE
08 Jun 2022
The results of this study show that at 2-year follow-up HBR patients undergoing PCI with a polymer-based zotarolimus-eluting stent & 1-month DAPT had similar outcomes in terms of both safety & efficacy to those with a polymer-free biolimus A9-coated stent.

Simplifying complex coronary interventions by adopting angiography-based physiology and a healing-targeted DES
19 May 2022 – From EuroPCR 2022
Consult this session to learn how to apply angio-based physiology to optimise patient selection for PCI, to discuss the impact of a healing-targeted DES on outcomes and DAPT duration, as well as to learn about the HT Supreme DES implantations in the (ongoing) QFR-guided, PIONEER IV trial.
PCI in acute coronary syndrome: when do we need assist device?
19 May 2022 – From EuroPCR 2022
Take the case of a 70-year-old-patient suffering obesity, DM, HTN, HLD, who presented with an anterior STEMI and shock, or the one of a 74-year-old woman with ACS and a very low ejection fraction, and get to understand when assist devices can be used.
