Stable CAD (Coronary artery disease)

Watch this session to discover a selection of cases on stable CAD, stents & scaffolds and learn more about how to cope with complications.

Watch this session to learn more about the benefit/risk trade-off of extended DAPT in "TWILIGHT-like" patients after PCI, as well as the distal transradial access for coronary angiography and interventions.

According to the updated international revascularization guidelines, fractional flow reserve (FFR) and instantaneous wave-free period ratio (iFR) are proposed to dichotomize decision-making for ischemia detection in guiding percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of intermediate coronary stenosis.

The objective of the IAMI1 trial was to determine whether early influenza vaccination reduces the risk of cardiovascular events in patients admitted with an acute-MI or high-risk stable coronary artery disease in an adequately powered randomized control trial setting.

A 67-year-old female with a history of recurrent episodes of chest pain presented at the outpatient clinic. She also had a history of hyperlipidaemia, arterial hypertension, peripheral artery disease, diabetes mellitus type 2 and she was an active smoker.

Nicola Ryan presents a synthesis of this study which compares FFR-guided assessment of patients with chest pain with angiographic guidance alone, and which was presented by Nicholas Curzen (Southampton, USA) during the ESC Congress 2021.

Panos Xaplanteris interviews Nick Curzen about this study on FFR-guided assessment of patients with chest pain when compared with angiographic guidance alone which was presented during ESC Congress 2021.

The aim of this study was to understand the impact of optical coherence tomography (OCT)-detected thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA) on clinical outcomes of diabetes mellitus (DM) patients with fractional flow reserve (FFR)-negative lesions.

This analysis highlights that, in appropriate hands, ISR CTO-PCI is safe, with similar success rates to de-novo CTO-PCI.

Find out more about the results of this analysis which suggest that operator experience may be an important effect modifier in ROTA-PCI.
