Stents, scaffolds and DCB

The authors present a case of percutaneous coronary intervention for bifurcation lesion in a 73-year-old man suffering from effort angina, in which they successfully performed double kissing crush stenting using optical coherence tomography.

On this page you will find a selection of interviews regarding the latest data on renal denervation from TCT Connect 2020, as well as the latest complex sub-analyses from the Onyx ONE Month DAPT program. View a series of short interviews here below!

Szabo’s technique, also known as “tail-wire” technique, is one of the few specific ostial intervention techniques that can be helpful to achieve precise coverage of the ostium without excessive protrusion into the aorta or the respective main vessel... Discover the tips and solutions proposed by Felix...

Population ageing is increasing. Therefore extensive coronary artery calcification is a frequent finding and results in complex coronary interventions. Despite the improvement of stent- and balloon- profile, delivery can be challenging due to vessel tortuosity and calcified plaque... Discover the tips and solutions proposed by Lucas...

In OCT-guided PCI, observing an aorto-ostial lesion is impossible as it requires blood clearance, and the material of the guiding catheter used is not near-infrared transparent. Using a Telescope®-guiding extension catheter, the authors successfully acquired an OCT image throughout the soft polymer tip and the relatively wide...

View this very uncommon case in which balloons do not expand even after a rather aggressive rotational atherectomy: a 43-year-old male with hypertension, smoking and dyslipidemia presents with total occlusion of proximal left anterior descending artery with fresh thrombus...
