Stents, scaffolds and DCB

Guillaume Bonnet interviews Christian Spaulding about the SELUTION DeNovo Trial he presented at TCT 2025, in San Francisco. 

Prof. Christian Spaulding, principal investigator of the study, discusses the trial design, key outcomes, breaks down the nuances behind the sirolimus DCB strategy versus contemporary DES, and shares insights...

This individual patient data analysis of the three largest RCTs evaluating IVUS-guided stent optimisation showed that an MSA > 5.5 mm2 was associated with reduced TVF at one year. 

Alessandro Sticchi provides us with a curated overview of the late-breaking trials he found most relevant for interventional cardiologists from AHA 2025.

The SELUTION DeNovo trial, presented by Christian Spaulding at TCT 2025, delivers the first head-to-head comparison between a sirolimus DCB strategy and contemporary DES in PCI.

In this review, Salvatore Brugaletta breaks down the 1-year results and what these findings truly mean for everyday lesion-by-lesion decision-making.

Ali Nazmi Calik provides his take on the OCVC-BIF study presented by Takayuki Ishihara at TCT 2025, in San Francisco.

Alex Sticchi interviews Lei Song on the IRONMAN II trial he presented at TCT 2025, in San Francisco.

Watch this replay with F. Ribichini, M. Götberg, B. Khialani and B. Vaquerizo to Review the newest indications for the use of DCB with a focus on STEMI, CTO, bifurcations and calcified lesions, and so much more!

Delve into the complexities of bifurcation and left main coronary interventions with this session focusing on challenging cases and advanced techniques. Topics include management of complications during drug-eluting stent deployment, Impella-supported orbital atherectomy in heavily calcified lesions, and PCI in patients with severe comorbidities such as...

This session offers an in-depth exploration of precision plaque management strategies through hybrid lesion preparation techniques and advanced intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging. It emphasizes the synergistic use of drug-coated balloons and drug-eluting stents to optimize PCI outcomes. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how cutting...

This session highlights the emerging role of next-generation resorbable magnesium scaffolds in coronary interventions. It provides detailed insights into the FREESOLVE technology, its clinical applications, and the latest evidence from the BIOMAG-I study with three-year outcomes. Clinical experiences with FREESOLVE are discussed to inform on safety,...
