Explore the global challenge of hypertension, affecting one in three adults, and the strategies for screening, diagnosis, and management, including lifestyle modifications, pharmacotherapy, and device-based treatments, as outlined by Sofie Brouwers.

Paris, France, 21 May 2019. Severe symptomatic aortic stenosis, a degenerative disease-causing calcification and immobility of the aortic valve leaflets leading to left ventricular outflow obstruction, is the most common valve lesion leading to intervention in Europe and the USA. Symptoms include heart failure, syncope and...

This EIJ image illustrates a crucial case, emphasizing the importance of confirming wire position in the true lumen during dissection and re-entry techniques in CTO PCI.

Mirvat Alasnag provides her take on the outcomes of small annuli sub-study from the FRANCE-TAVI Registry which included 1,195 patients. This trial was presented by Walid Ben-Ali at TCT 2022.

Elad Asher provides his take on the final results of the SHARE (SHort-term Dual Antiplatelet Therapy After Deployment of BioabsoRbable Polymer Everolimus-Eluting Stent) trial, which were presented during the ESC 2023 congress in Amsterdam by Pil-Ki Min.

Paris, France. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, patients have been consistently deprived of timely cardiovascular treatment. This is due in part to measures taken in response to the sanitary crisis, but it is also due to patients' own unwillingness to seek medical help, even...

The authors present a case of percutaneous coronary intervention for bifurcation lesion in a 73-year-old man suffering from effort angina, in which they successfully performed double kissing crush stenting using optical coherence tomography.

This manuscript examines Impella single access technique, which provides a case example of the central role social media can play in the introduction of a new interventional approach.

Study the case of this 78-year-old male patient to understand why and how HPG may be important when measuring FFR in patients with CAD, as its height may influence the height of different FFR measurements, and, therefore, the patient management.

Thanks to this Image in Interventional Cardiology, view an emergency TAVI-in-TAVI for cardiogenic shock secondary to acute valve degeneration complicated by left main stem obstruction treated successfully by chimney stenting.

In 2002, Alain Cribier revolutionised the field by introducing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) as a complementary technique to surgery. Find out more about his early life and studies.

This image highlights the challenges of managing infective endocarditis (IE) and explores the potential role of transcatheter extraction devices in addressing unmet needs for patients who cannot undergo surgery.

Yohei Ohno provides his takeaways from the results of the Evolut Low Risk trial which was presented by Michael J. Reardon during the ACC.25 in Chicago.

Watch the case of a 79-year-old male patient admitted to hospital with progressive dyspnea in NYHA functional class III-IV and signs of fluid overload, who presented a subannular perforation of LVOT in the region of fibrous aortomitral continuity, and find out how he was treated.

Fernando Alfonso and Javier Cuesta discuss the growing role of drug-coated balloons as an alternative to stents in percutaneous coronary interventions. Highlighting advantages like reduced in-stent restenosis, they emphasize the need for robust clinical studies to refine DCB use.

How do you navigate the complexities of performing TAVI on aortas previously treated for coarctation surgery, while ensuring patient safety through meticulous planning and expert precision? Analyse this image to find out more!

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.
