Stents, scaffolds and DCB

Find all the latest content on stents and scaffolds published on this website.

Since 1986, when the first cardiovascular stent was implanted, the development of drug-eluting stents (DES) and the recent introduction of bioresorbable scaffolds have revolutionised interventional cardiology. Keep up-to-date with the latest research; evolving tools, devices and techniques; the role of adjunctive pharmacotherapy; advances in imaging techniques as well as the use of invasive imaging and functional assessment.

Precision PCI in the era of AI and multimodality imaging

13 Jan 2025

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,...
