Stents, scaffolds and DCB

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.
