Stable CAD (Coronary artery disease)

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...

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.

Kalaivani Mahadevan provides her take on the five-year outcomes of the FAME 3 trial presented by William F. Fearon at ACC.25 in Chicago.

Ali Nazmi Calik provides his take on the FLAVOUR II trial presented by Jian-An Wang at ACC.25 in Chicago.

Nicola Ryan provides her take on the WARRIOR trial which was presented by Eileen Handberg at ACC.25 in Chicago.

The manuscript for this trial has not been published and all assumptions are based upon the presentation.

The authors hypothesized that enriching invasive coronary angiography (ICA) with an advanced invasive diagnosis (AID) strategy would increase the diagnostic yield of obstructive and non-obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA).

Live updates on a selection of major Late Breaking Clinical Trials of interest in interventional cardiology presented at the American College of Cardiology 2025 Scientific Sessions #ACC25

Nailing the ostium of LAD, although technically challenging, can be precisely done with mandatory intracoronary imaging. It is essential to rule out disease extension into left main artery as, otherwise, cross over LM-LAD stenting strategy would be preferable. CTCA can help the interventionist plan the PCI,...

Any coronary intervention can be compromised by an iatrogenic hydraulic dissection: find out how to manage it with dissection stenting!

Dive into this 'Interventional potpourri' session for a diverse array of captivating case studies and innovative techniques in interventional cardiology. Explore an anomalous right coronary artery origin, tackle a complex and poorly understood lesion, discover the integration of artificial intelligence in stentless PCI, and master the...
