Mirvat Alasnag provides her take on the VICTORY trial presented by Matthias Bossard at TCT 2025 in San Francisco.

The data from this study suggest that, from a SoMe perspective, correct Impella orientation is often overlooked, and that Impella malrotation is a common issue in real-world clinical practice, potentially associated with relevant complications. 

Over the last 30 years, primary PCI (pPCI) has evolved from an experimental ‘rescue’ intervention to an essential routine procedure – performed daily in cathlabs around the world – which is responsible for saving millions of lives. However, its path to success was far from smooth.

Nicola Ryan provides her take on the BRIGHT-4 study, which was presented during AHA 2022 in Chicago, & simultaneously published in the Lancet.

This study was a randomised control trial designed to assess if bivalirudin plus a high dose infusion for 2-4 hours post PPCI was superior to unfractionated...

Nicola Ryan provides her take on DKCRUSH-VIII, a randomised controlled trial comparing IVUS versus angiography guidance for PCI, predominantly using the DKCRUSH technique in patients with complex bifurcation lesions, as presented by Shaoliang Chen at ACC.26 in New Orleans.

Marco Spagnolo and Daniele Giacoppo report the main results of the IVUS-ACS trial presented by Shao-Liang Chen, from the Nanjing First Hospital, Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, in a Featured Clinical Research session at ACC.24 in Atlanta and simultaneously published in The Lancet.(1)
