First-in-man randomised comparison of the Angiolite durable fluoroacrylate polymer-based sirolimus-eluting stent vs a durable fluoropolymer-based everolimus-eluting stent in patients with CAD: the ANGIOLITE trial

14 Jan 2020

The durable fluoroacrylate polymer-based sirolimus-eluting stent (Angiolite SES) has shown promising preclinical and clinical results regarding inflammatory vascular reaction and neointimal healing. J. Moreu, et al. aimed to compare performance between the Angiolite SES and an everolimus-eluting stent (EES) in patients with coronary artery disease.

PCI optimisation: OCT and physiology in a complex multivessel disease case

18 Dec 2019 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2019

The patient is a 57-year-old male with high-risk factors and previous history of revascularisation. He presents with ischemic chest pain with NSTE-ACS. The baseline angiography shows multivessel disease and calcified LAD/D1 bifurcation (1,1,0).

The key objectives of this case are:

  1. Utility of FFR in physiological assessment of a...
