Explore the critical role of intracoronary imaging in diagnosing and managing coronary dissections and related complications. Through case studies, learn about bailout strategies and the domino effect of decisions during PCI in acute myocardial infarction.

Celebrate the finalists of PCR's Got Talent Round 3, showcasing innovative clinical skills and novel approaches in interventional cardiology. Witness the culmination of emerging talent shaping the future of cardiology practice.

This session offers comprehensive multi-modality assessment of coronary disease, integrating advanced imaging and functional testing. Topics include diagnostic yield of OCT and cardiac MRI for MINOCA, transitioning coronary plaque vulnerability assessment from invasive to non-invasive methods, relationships between QFR and IVUS post-PCI in complex lesions, combined...

Although TAVI is an accepted alternative to surgery in patients with severe aortic stenosis who are at high surgical risk, less is known about long-term comparative outcomes among patients with aortic stenosis who are at intermediate surgical risk. P. Redaelli & M. Pighi review the SURTAVI trial...

Global burden of Cardiovascular Disease

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the lead cause of mortality for men and women globally. Our world population in 2023 is 8 billion! Of these, around 620 million people are living with heart and circulatory diseases across the world. Each year around 60...

Vijay Kunadian summarizes the key points of the LBT session of the ESC congress 2021 held on Sunday, 29 August focusing on the Lancet Commission to reduce the global burden of heart disease in women by 2030.

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...

In this article, Bruno Scheller explores advances in local drug delivery, from drug-coated balloons to novel antiproliferative agents. These innovations aim to reduce restenosis, minimize permanent implants, and pave the way for patient-specific coronary artery disease treatments.
