To investigate if recent technical and procedural developments in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) significantly influence outcomes appropriately selected patients with three-vessel (3VD) artery disease.The SYNTAX II study is a multicenter, all-comers, open-label, single arm that investigated the impact of contemporary PCI strategy on clinical 3VD 22 centres from four European countries. The SYNTAX-II includes: heart team decision-making utilizing Score (a tool combining anatomical...

Abstract The Drug Coated Balloon Academic Research Consortium project originated from the lack of standardization and comparability between studies using drug-coated balloons in treatment obstructive coronary artery disease. This document is a collaborative effort academic research organizations percutaneous intervention societies Europe, USA, Asia. consensus sought to standardize study designs endpoints for clinical trials involving balloons, including defining angiographic, intravascular,...

To assess the impact of SYNTAX scores I and II in outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) artery bypass graft (CABG) for patients with diabetes multivessel disease (MVD).We performed a patient-level pooled analysis three large randomized trials MVD. The anatomic complexity as measured by score differences following PCI CABG was assessed at median follow-up 5 years. We also performance model without diabetes. From 3280 enrolled trials, total 1068 (32.6%) had rate composite...

In diabetic patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD), the survival difference between bypass graft (CABG) surgery and percutaneous intervention (PCI) favors CABG. However, there are few data on mortality 2 strategies in nondiabetic patients. This study performed a patient-level meta-analysis to compare effect of CABG versus PCI drug-eluting stents long-term 1,275 CAD. Individual patient from SYNTAX (Synergy Taxus Cardiac Surgery) BEST (Randomized Comparison Coronary Artery...

Bifurcation lesions represent one of the most challenging lesion subsets in interventional cardiology. The European Club (EBC) is an academic consortium whose goal has been to assess and recommend appropriate strategies manage bifurcation lesions. quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) methods for evaluation have subject extensive research. Single-vessel QCA shown be inaccurate assessment dimensions. For this reason, dedicated software developed validated. These packages apply principles...

The degree of stent/scaffold embedment could be a surrogate parameter the vessel wall-stent/scaffold interaction and have biological implications in vascular response. We developed new specific software for quantitative evaluation struts by optical coherence tomography (OCT). In present study, we described algorithm analysis its reproducibility. was evaluated as ratio embedded part versus whole strut height subdivided into quartiles. agreement inter- intra-observer reproducibility were using...

Objectives We sought to investigate a new angiographic method for aortic regurgitation (AR) severity assessment in the setting of transcatheter valve implantation (TAVI). Background AR after TAVI is common but challenging quantitate, especially cath‐lab. Methods In 228 patients, was quantitated before and by echocardiography video‐densitometric analysis aortograms. Contrast time–density curves root (the reference region) left ventricular outflow tract, LVOT were generated. LVOT‐AR calculated...

Aims In addition to patients with pure/predominant aortic stenosis (PAS), real-world transcatheter valve implantation (TAVI) referrals include mixed disease (MAVD; severe stenosis+moderate-severe regurgitation). We sought compare TAVI outcomes in MAVD vs. PAS. Methods and results Out of 793 consecutive undergoing TAVI, 106 (13.4%) had MAVD. Patients were younger a higher operative risk, more adverse cardiac remodelling, worse functional status than Moderate-severe prosthetic regurgitation...
