The almost-exclusive cause of ACS, including unstable angina, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with or without ST-segment elevation, and sudden cardiac death, is atherothrombosis. Pilot pathological studies have identified the pathophysiological processes implicated in the destabilisation and thrombosis of…

FLAVOUR was a multicentre, non-inferiority, randomised clinical trial which sought to compare the safety and efficacy of FFR-guided stenting and IVUS-guided stenting. Presented first at ACC.22, the trial demonstrated that…
