ESC 2023 — Dr Gregg Stone (Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, US) shares the findings from a real-time updated network meta-analysis comparing OCT, IVUS and Angiography guidance in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures.
The OCTOBER and ILUMIEN IV randomised trials both studied OCT-guided versus angiography-guided PCI. This analysis compared the overall effects of…

Atherosclerosis is a generalised disease and contributes to cardiac death, stroke, limb loss and a range of other illnesses. Disease in the major arteries, including the infra-renal abdominal aorta, internal iliac arteries, renal arteries and peripheral vasculature, remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality. For example, the prevalence of disease in the infra-renal abdominal aorta ranges…

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…

In recent years, magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) of the peripheral vascular tree has evolved into a widely available and valuable technique in the diagnostic and pre-interventional work-up of patients with peripheral arterial disease. Numerous studies have demonstrated the diagnostic accuracy of MRA for the assessment of abdominal and peripheral arteries, and in many hospitals the technique…

Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (ce-MRA) has become an established and routinely used imaging modality and has largely replaced invasive diagnostic digital subtraction angiography (DSA). There have been ongoing technical developments in magnetic gradient hardware, coil design and pulse sequence design for ce-MRA, resulting in an increased spatial and temporal resolution. The…

In this video, Prof Nicholas Curzen (University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust, Southampton, UK) discusses the findings of the RIPCORD 2 Study, a randomized multicenter trial that aimed to assess whether routine Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) guided assessment improved patient outcomes as compared to angiography alone. Presented at ESC 2021, the results suggest that routine FFR during…

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…
