Since its inception in December 2006, the EuroCTO Club has strived to provide framework for state-of-the-art chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) Europe and nearby regions. Among initiatives, published a set of recommendations regarding technical aspects CTO PCI, whose last edition dates 2012. The consensus document discusses PCI clinical indications, techniques equipment use, as well qualifications operators/centres. Given considerable amount progress made...
Over the past 2 decades, chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention has developed into its own subspecialty of interventional cardiology. Dedicated terminology, techniques, devices, courses, and training programs have enabled progressive advancements. However, only a few randomized trials been performed to evaluate safety efficacy CTO intervention. Moreover, several published observational studies shown conflicting data. Part paucity clinical data stems from fact that...
The prevalence of cigarette smoking (CS) is increased among obese subjects, who are susceptible to develop nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We investigated the hepatic effects CS in control and rats. Control Zucker rats were divided into smokers nonsmokers (n = 12 per group). Smoker exposed 2 cigarettes/day, 5 days/week for 4 weeks. assessed by biochemical analysis, histological examination, immunohistochemistry, gene expression analysis. Phosphorylation AKT extracellular...
Since the first balloon angioplasty by Andreas Grüntzig 40 years ago, interventional cardiology has witnessed introduction of countless tools and techniques that have significantly contributed to broadening application percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in unprecedented anatomic settings. Heavily calcified, fibrotic stenosis traditionally represented a very challenging scenario for PCI, common indication surgical revascularisation. This was mostly due difficulty adequately dilating...
The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused an enormous strain on healthcare systems and society a global scale. We report new phenomenon of medical care avoidance among patients with acute coronary syndrome, which is due to concerns about contracting severe respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection during hospital stay, ultimately leading dire clinical outcomes. (Level Difficulty: Beginner.)
The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiology, mechanisms, management, and outcomes coronary artery perforation during chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous intervention (PCI).We included 1,811 consecutive patients undergoing CTO PCI at five centres between 2011 2018. Coronary observed in n=99 (5.5%). Patients with were older, had a higher J-CTO score, more often required antegrade dissection/re-entry retrograde approach, lower success rates. frequency Ellis type I, II, III...
The COVID-19 pandemic and iodinated contrast shortage may have affected interventional cardiology (IC) fellowship training. aim of this study was to investigate the educational experience first-year IC fellows in United States Canada. A 59-question online survey conducted among 2021-2022 Of 360 invited participate, 111 (31%) responded; 95% were from States, 79% men. Participants mostly university programs (70%), spent 61 70 hours/week hospital, had an annual percutaneous coronary...
