A randomised trial of sirolimus- versus paclitaxel-coated balloons for de novo coronary lesions
05 Dec 2024
The present study compares a novel sirolimus-coated balloon with a clinically proven paclitaxel-coated balloon for the treatment of de novo coronary lesions, demonstrating non-inferiority in terms of angiographic late lumen loss at 6 months.

Ultrasound-guided versus fluoroscopy-guided large-bore femoral access in PCI of complex coronary lesions: the international, multicentre, randomised ULTRACOLOR Trial
02 Dec 2024
Compared to fluoroscopy guidance, routine use of ultrasound for large-bore transfemoral access in complex PCI did not significantly reduce clinically relevant bleeding or vascular complications. However, it notably improved first-pass puncture success, with a very low crossover rate.

“Big and heavy” – TAVI in a severely calcified aortic stenosis with large annulus
22 Nov 2024
An 89-year-old male presented with worsening HF symptoms and a history of permanent AF and chronic renal failure. TTE confirmed severe AS, while coronary angiography revealed single vessel disease. He was referred to a heart valve center for further evaluation, where multislice computed tomography showed a...

Complex calcified left main bifurcation - LIVE case
05 Oct 2024 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2024
An 82-year-old woman with diabetes, hypertension, a history of Micra and RCA PCI 2 years later, was admitted for NSTEMI. The coronary angiography showed a very calcified distal left main stenosis, a significant and calcified ostial LAD stenosis (medina: 1 1 0), confirmed by IVUS. She...
