Stents, scaffolds and DCB

In this video, Aaron Wong and Paul Ong share their views on the contribution of various stents to the treatment of HBR patients and the value of durable, biodegradable, non-polymer stents in specific cases. They base their discussion on the results of numerous studies on stents using...

Thanks to this session, find out more about indications for drug-coated balloons, or, on the contrary, learn when not to use it. And through the analysis of two concrete cases, see how DCB can be an important tool to tackle increasingly complex patients and anatomies, especially...

View the complex case of this 70-year-old male patient with hypertension and diabetes who presented with chest pain and NSTEMI, which shows that, when dealing with challenging calcific disease, guide catheter extensions help improve device delivery.

In this session dedicated to the MASTER DAPT study, considered the largest HBR trial to date, learn about the baseline characteristics, clinical presentation, and procedural characteristics of this large trial carried out across 4 continents, before hearing our speakers' interpretation of its 30-days outcomes.

At a time when the prevention of the health of health care personnel is at the forefront, as well as that of the patient, innovations in imaging are arousing increasing interest. Similarly, the integration of new technologies, and in particular the use of artificial intelligence and...

Coronary obstruction is a known procedural complication of aortic valve replacement. However, delayed presentation few months after surgical AVR is a relatively unusual phenomenon.  We describe a 75 year old woman with surgical AVR who presented with acute coronary syndrome and severe RV failure few months...

Marco Valgimigli (Lugano, Switzerland) presented the results of the MASTER DAPT trial on Saturday, August 28, in a Hot Line session of the ESC Congress 2021. Luis G. Ortega-Paz provides his PICOT & SWOT analysis of this study.

ESC Congress 2021: Discover the interview given by Marco Valgimigli to Luis G. Ortega-Paz for PCRonline about the MASTER-DAPT trial to assess whether one month of dual antiplatelet therapy preserves the net and major adverse cardiovascular events.

The purpose of the present investigation was to revisit all stent expansion indexes to identify the best predictor of 2-year percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) lesion-specific outcome measures (i.e. clinically-driven target lesion revascularization [TLR] or definite stent thrombosis) using the ADAPT-DES IVUS substudy cohort.

The origin of circumflex from the main RCA has a reported incidence of 0.37 %. Here are two very unusual cases of an anomalous origin of the left circumflex coronary artery from the proximal RCA, one of them with inferior STEMI and VT.
