Stable CAD (Coronary artery disease)

Find all the latest content on stable coronary artery disease (stable CAD) published on this website.

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…

Pre-treatment with P2Y12 inhibitors in patients with chronic coronary syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: a report from the Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry

11 Mar 2022

The optimal timing of the administration of P2Y12 inhibitors in patients with CCS undergoing ad-hoc PCI is unknown. This study aimed to provide observational data to clarify these quandaries.

Improved 3-year cardiac survival after IVUS-guided long DES implantation: a patient-level analysis from 2 randomized trials

02 Feb 2022

This study aimed to increase the power to detect differences in patient survival (freedom from cardiac deaths) with IVUS versus angiography guidance by pooling the individual patient data from the IVUS-XPL and ULTIMATE trials.

iFR-SWEDEHEART: iFR vs FFR-Guided Coronary Revascularisation

04 Nov 2021

Nicola Ryan reviews the iFR Swedeheart multicenter, randomized, controlled, open-label clinical trial using the Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry (SCAAR) for enrolment randomisation and follow up. At one year follow up iFR guided revascularisation was shown to be non-inferior to FFR guided revascularisation, these results...
