Other coronary interventions

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.

Aaysha Cader provides her take on the ECLIPSE trial presented by Gregg W. Stone at ACC.25 in Chicago.

Luis Ortega-Paz interviews Deepak L. Bhatt about the results of the Phase 3 Reverse-it trial which he presented during the ACC.25 in Chicago.

A 76-year-old man with multiple cardiovascular risk factors presents with unstable angina, despite optimal medical therapy. Facing a complex, tight, and calcified lesion, the decision between PCI and CABG is critical. Join us as we discuss his diagnosis, risk assessment, and approach to treatment, and see...

NIRS-IVUS offers precise assessment of coronary artery pathology but is invasive and limited in scope, while CCTA is emerging as a non-invasive alternative for comprehensive plaque evaluation.

The post-hoc analysis found that quantitative flow ratio (QFR)-based deferral of coronary artery revascularisation resulted in a higher incidence of 1-year major adverse cardiac events (MACE) as compared with fractional flow reserve (FFR)-based deferral.

A 52-year-old male presenting with angina (CCS II) and normal LV function. Angiography revealed a long, severely calcified lesion in the proximal and mid-LAD, which was undilatable during a previous PCI.

The lesion was prepared using Rotablator (1.5 Burr), cutting balloon, Shockwave, and NC balloon, guided by...

Explore the invisible component of the coronary circulation in this insightful session. Gain a deep understanding of the principles of microvascular invasive assessment, learn how to interpret the data, and discover tailored management strategies for microvascular dysfunction. Through case presentations on vasospastic angina and microvascular dysfunction,...
