Stable CAD (Coronary artery disease)

Latest stable coronary artery disease (stable CAD) content in interventional cardiology - research, practice, and education

A complex and changing disease state requiring wide expertise, stable CAD can involve a diverse range of underlying chronic or evolutionary stages involving full use of all available tools, devices and techniques like those for invasive imaging and functional assessment. Taking into account underlying comorbidities such as diabetes is critical. Advances in imaging techniques, as well as the use of adjunctive pharmacotherapy, vascular access or invasive interventions such as bypass surgery, are important, as are understanding bleeding risks, all of which can be found here…

One- versus three-month DAPT after everolimus-eluting stent implantation in diabetic patients at high-bleeding risk: results from the XIENCE Short DAPT programme

17 Jun 2025

This analysis from the XIENCE Short DAPT programme compared the safety and efficacy of one-month versus three-month DAPT in high-bleeding risk patients with and without diabetes mellitus (DM) following PCI with everolimus eluting stents (EES).

Effects of proton pump inhibitors on gastrointestinal bleeding and cardiovascular outcomes in myocardial infarction patients treated with DAPT

08 Apr 2025

This large retrospective analysis using data from the Republic of Korea’s Nationwide Health Claims database showed that co-prescription of a PPI in patients treated with DAPT following an AMI was associated with reduced major GI bleeding as well as reduced minor GI bleeding requiring hospitalisation, regardless...

Contemporary outcomes of PCI patients

22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025

Examine contemporary outcomes in PCI patients through a collection of studies addressing angiographic complication incidences, safety of same-day discharge post-complex PCI, age-related outcome impacts in TAVI patients, and comparative long-term antiplatelet strategies. The session also explores timing effects in routine versus off-hours PCI.
