Stents, scaffolds and DCB

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.

Watch the replay webinar with F. Ribichini, F. Jafary, Y. Onuma and B. Scheller to learn how to “control” dissections during lesion preparation, and much more!

Dive into six decades of innovation in transluminal angioplasty! Hosted by Jean Marco and Chiara De Biase, each episode features in-depth conversations with these visionary figures, offering historical perspectives and inspiring messages to shape the future of clinical practice. ...

In this article, Bruno Scheller explores advances in local drug delivery, from drug-coated balloons to novel antiproliferative agents. These innovations aim to reduce restenosis, minimize permanent implants, and pave the way for patient-specific coronary artery disease treatments.

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,...

This Special Report led by Andreas Baumbach explores the history, current techniques, evidence, and future of DCBs, plus insights on left main stent restenosis.

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...

This interventional potpourri session covers a diverse range of challenging cases in interventional cardiology. From a case of failed balloon angioplasty in a non-dilatable calcified lesion to an innovative approach for treating isolated side branch osteal lesions, this session offers valuable insights and practical solutions.
