Guiding intervention for complex coronary lesions by optical coherence tomography or intravascular ultrasound
06 Nov 2023
The OCTIVUS trial was a prospective multicentre, open-label, randomised controlled trial comparing OCT guided PCI with IVUS guided PCI. In this pre-specified sub-study, the authors report the outcomes in patients with complex coronary lesions undergoing OCT- or IVUS-guided PCI.

Clopidogrel versus aspirin monotherapy beyond 1 year after PCI: STOPDAPT-2 five-year results
03 Nov 2023
The STOPDAPT-2 trial was a multicenter, open-label, adjudicator-blinded, randomised control trial comparing clopidogrel monotherapy after one-month DAPT with aspirin monotherapy following 12-months DAPT in patients undergoing PCI with a everolimus-eluting stent...

When should we perform PCI for stable coronary artery disease in aortic stenosis, pre, post, never?
17 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
What is the evidence for the need for PCI in patients with stable coronary artery disease and severe aortic stenosis? Is invasive angiography always mandatory for these patients? What about CT scans? When exactly should PCI be performed?
These are the questions Vijay Kunadian and Martine Gilard...
