Other coronary interventions

At EuroPCR 2025, Nilesh Pareek and Thomas Keeble discuss the clinical value and future potential of NIRS IVUS, a dual-modality imaging system developed by Nipro that combines intravascular ultrasound with near-infrared spectroscopy.

The Makoto™ system and Dualpro™ catheter allow real-time identification of lipid-rich plaques by providing both...

Nicola Ryan and Flavio Ribichini explore the complexities of calcified left main stem disease, emphasizing the critical role of intracoronary imaging in improving patient outcomes. They discuss the practical use of mechanical circulatory support and debate stenting strategies, offering expert insights on when single or dual...

In this exchange, Vijay Kunadian and Javier Escaned explore the real-world implementation of INOCA (Ischemia with Non-Obstructive Coronary Arteries) and ANOCA (Angina with Non-Obstructive Coronary Arteries) diagnostic pathways. Drawing on the 2024 CCS (Chronic Coronary Syndromes) guidelines, and the EAPCI consensus document, they discuss why these...

Calcified bifurcation lesions remain one of the toughest challenges in interventional cardiology, combining two high-risk features into one complex scenario.

In this EuroPCR 2025 interview, Dejan Milasinovic, Miroslaw Ferenc, and Mohamed Abdel Wahab explain why this subset deserves dedicated attention. They highlight the critical role of intra-coronary...

If you want to learn more about the specific challenges posed by the treatment and the risk-benefit balance of elective revascularisation procedures, don't wait any longer and read this brand-new chapter written by F. Ribichini and colleagues, available exclusively to subscribers.

We present the case of an 83-year-old man admitted with chronic coronary syndrome.

Coronary angiography revealed critical long calcified LAD stenosis. Complex PCI with different plaque modification techniques and intravascular imaging guiding was necessary to reach the success.

A 72-year-old male patient with stable coronary artery disease was admitted for recurrence of angina (CCS II/III). Coronary angiography revealed significant stenosis in the mid-portion of RCA. Ad hoc PCI of RCA was unsuccessful due to an uncrossable lesion...

In this case, the authors offer their perspective on treating a highly calcified circumflex coronary artery while dealing with a very unfavourable angle in a patient with extensive and known coronary disease.
