ESC 23: The ILUMIEN IV Trial
Author(s): Ziad A Ali Added: 7 months ago
ESC 2023 — Dr Ziad Ali (DeMatteis St Francis, US) joins us to discuss the findings from the ILUMIEN IV clinical trial (NCT03507777). ILUMIEN IV (Abbott Medical Devices)is a prospective, single-blind clinical trial aiming to compare optical coherence tomography (OCT) to an angiography-guided stent implantation strategy. The trial investigated which method achieved a larger post-percutaneous… View more

Drug-eluting Balloons in Coronary Artery Disease
Author(s): Anouar Belkacemi , Pierfrancesco Agostoni , Michiel Voskuil , et al Added: 3 years ago
In the past few decades, major progress has been made in the percutaneous treatment of coronary artery disease. Initially, the emergence of balloon angioplasty offered an alternative option for coronary revascularisation. However, abrupt closure and restenosis caused by elastic recoil, neointimal hyperplasia and late remodelling were major drawbacks of balloon angioplasty.1 The use of drug… View more

Prevention & Chronic Conditions
Author(s): Peter Barlis , Mun Hong Cheang , Carlo Di Mario Added: 3 years ago
In the past few decades, tremendous developments have been made in the field of interventional cardiology. The evolution of such tools as balloon angioplasty, bare-metal stents (BMS) and now drug-eluting stents (DES) has incrementally opened up new possibilities in the treatment of coronary artery disease and, correspondingly, an ever-decreasing need for invasive surgery. The most challenging… View more

The EXCEL Trial: The Surgeons’ Perspective
Author(s): Marjan Jahangiri , Krishna Mani , Martin T Yates , et al Added: 3 years ago
With evolving stent technology, improvements in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) techniques and the use of antithrombotic medications, the role of PCI in the treatment of left main stem (LMS) disease has expanded from being confined to salvage scenarios to intermediate- and lower-risk patients. However, the role and benefits of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery in the… View more

ESC 23: The OCTOBER Trial
Author(s): Niels Ramsing Holm Added: 7 months ago
ESC 2023 — Dr Niels Ramsing Holm (Aarhus University, DK) outlines the findings from the OCTOBER trial (NCT03171311). The OCTOBER trial (Aarhus University Hospital Skejby, Abbott) aimed to compare the median two-year clinical outcome after optical coherence tomography (OCT) guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as compared to angiographic-guided PCI. This was an investigator-initiated… View more

Coronary bifurcation lesions with involvement of a significant side branch are a frequent occurrence. The Rapamycin-Eluting Stent Evaluated At Rotterdam Cardiology Hospital (RESEARCH) study showed that systematic use of drug-eluting stents (DES) resulted in an increase from 8% to 16% in the number of bifurcation lesions being stented over a one-year period. 1 This high incidence of coronary… View more
