This consensus document, a summary of the views an expert panel organized by European Association Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions (EAPCI), appraises importance ischaemia with non-obstructive coronary arteries (INOCA). Angina pectoris affects approximately 112 million people globally. Up to 70% patients undergoing invasive angiography do not have obstructive artery disease, more common in women than men, and large proportion INOCA as cause their symptoms. present wide spectrum...

Abstract The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic poses an unprecedented challenge to healthcare worldwide. infection can be life threatening and require intensive care treatment. transmission of the a risk both patients workers. number requiring hospital admission may overwhelm health systems negatively affect standard for presenting with conditions needing emergency interventions. This position statements aims assist cardiologists in invasive management acute coronary syndrome...
To assess outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) according to sex, with the two available valves and four recognised delivery approaches.VARC are reported sex for 305 high-risk patients consecutively treated in our centre, via access routes utilising Edwards SAPIEN™/SAPIEN™ XT or Medtronic CoreValve ReValving System® devices. Three hundred five underwent TAVI: 52.1% male 47.9% female. Females had a smaller body surface area (1.84±0.16 m² vs. 1.70±0.16 m²; p<0.001)...
Interventional cardiologists are amongst the most intensive radiation users within medicine. To assess implications of this usage, "Women In Innovation" Group (WIN) created a web-based survey called "WIN for Safety" distributed through European Association Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (EAPCI) to all catheterisation laboratory healthcare professionals, enquiring about protection measures, compliance with monitoring, health (orthopaedic issues), radiation-associated problems (cataracts...
Some concerns have been raised regarding the risk of late and very stent thrombosis (ST) following drug-eluting implantation. Despite remaining an uncommon complication percutaneous coronary intervention, when ST occurs, it can be catastrophic to individual, commonly presenting as acute elevation myocardial infarction or sudden cardiac death. The incidence predictors reported in literature role dual antiplatelet therapies avoidance such a remains vital. Ongoing studies are assessing these...
Objective To investigate the prognostic effect of newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus (NDM) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) post myocardial infarction (MI). Research Design Methods Retrospective cohort study 768 patients without preexisting post-MI at one centre in Yorkshire between November 2005 October 2008. Patients were categorised as normal (NGT n = 337), IGT (n 279) NDM 152) on pre- discharge oral test (OGTT). Primary end-point was first occurrence major adverse cardiovascular...
Abstract Background Persistent challenges in pancreaticobiliary (PB) cancer management continue to have a significant impact on patients. Prolonged access care, for diagnosis and treatment, prompted the launch of multidisciplinary approach 07/2023 provide timely patient-centred points improve overall quality life (QOL). Aims To evaluate outcomes EPIC program, with focus care timelines established collaborative pathway developed this program. Methods All consecutive patients suspected PB...
This position statement from EAPCI and ACVC provides guidance on invasive management of ACS patients during the COVID-19 pandemic, including modified algorithms, network reorganization, healthcare worker protection measures.
To describe results from our "modified crossover technique" for vascular access management during transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).Vascular remains a major cause of complications following TAVI due to the large bore sheaths required.All suitable patients undergoing in center, between June and August 2011, underwent technique," which enables passage balloon through left radial inflation proximal iliac allow percutaneous closure clean field.In total, 15 were included: logistic...
To compare radial and femoral crossover techniques (CT) for vascular access management in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).Femoral controlled angiography balloon inflation of the therapeutic site to facilitate safe closure is beneficial but technically challenging patients with complex anatomy. An alternative approach should be available.Between June 2011 March 2012, 41 transfemoral TAVI receiving CT were compared 46 CT. Outcomes 30-day academic research consortium (VARC)...
To assess two-year outcomes following first vs. new-generation drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation in unprotected left main (ULMCA) percutaneous coronary intervention.All eligible patients from our two-centre registry treated with and DES October 2006 to November 2010 were analysed. The study objective was major adverse cardiac events (MACE), defined as all-cause mortality, target vessel revascularisation (TVR) myocardial infarction (MI) at two years. In total, 186 included: 93 (50.0%)...
Several expert documents on sex-based differences in interventional outcomes are now available, however this is the first position paper from EAPCI Women Committee discussing potential influence of sex percutaneous treatment coronary and structural heart disease. Despite misconception that artery disease a 'man's disease', contemporary data shows growing incidence women. However, women under-represented randomised clinical trials (~25%). The generalisation such studies therefore problematic...
