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…

Complex PCI in a TAVI patient - LIVE case

20 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025

An 84-year-old patient with a history of ischemic stroke in 2017, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and a preserved LV function (63 %) presented with a severe symptomatic aortic stenosis. The coronary angiography revealed a severe and calcified stenosis of the distal left main.

How to manage coronary artery disease in TAVI candidates?

20 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025

Martine Gilard, Antonio Mangieri, and Marco Barbanti explore the strategy for handling coronary artery disease in patients undergoing TAVI. Is coronary angiography always required beforehand? Should PCI be performed in all cases—and if so, when? This exchange offers key insights to help guide your decisions on...

Complex PCI for severely calcified, uncrossable RCA lesion

07 Apr 2025

A 72-year-old male patient with stable coronary artery disease was admitted for recurrence of angina (CCS II/III). Coronary angiography revealed significant stenosis in the mid-portion of RCA. Ad hoc PCI of RCA was unsuccessful due to an uncrossable lesion...

Rotational atherectomy, lithotripsy, or laser for calcified coronary stenosis: the ROLLER COASTR-EPIC22 trial

24 Mar 2025

Due to a lack of randomised evidence, this randomised controlled trial (RCT) aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of IVL and ELCA with RA in treating heavily calcified coronary lesions before drug-eluting stent implantation.
