Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a pathological process characterized by atherosclerotic plaque accumulation in the epicardial arteries, whether obstructive or non-obstructive. This can be modified lifestyle adjustments, pharmacological therapies, and invasive interventions designed to achieve stabilization regression. The have long, stable periods but also become unstable at any time, typically due an acute atherothrombotic event caused rupture erosion. However, chronic, most often...

Background —PTCA of a coronary stenosis without documented ischemia at noninvasive stress testing is often performed, but its benefit unproven. Coronary pressure–derived fractional flow reserve (FFR) an invasive index severity that reliable substitute for testing. A value 0.75 identifies stenoses with hemodynamic significance. Methods and Results —In 325 patients whom PTCA was planned who did not have ischemia, FFR the measured. If >0.75, were randomly assigned to deferral (deferral...
Coronary revascularization guided by fractional flow reserve (FFR) is associated with better patient outcomes after the procedure than angiography alone. It unknown whether instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR), an alternative measure that does not require administration of adenosine, will offer benefits similar to those FFR.
Monotherapy with a P2Y12 inhibitor after minimum period of dual antiplatelet therapy is an emerging approach to reduce the risk bleeding percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
The purpose of this study was to develop an adenosine-independent, pressure-derived index coronary stenosis severity.Assessment severity with fractional flow reserve (FFR) requires that resistance is stable and minimized. This usually achieved by administration pharmacological agents such as adenosine. In 2-part study, we determine whether there a time when naturally minimized at rest assess the diagnostic efficiency, compared FFR, new adenosine-free over time.A total 157 stenoses were...
This Consensus Document is the first of two reports summarizing views an expert panel organized by European Association Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions (EAPCI) on clinical use intracoronary imaging including intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT). The document appraises role to guide percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) in practice. Current evidence regarding impact guidance cardiovascular outcomes summarized, patients or lesions most likely...
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...
To assess platelet function profiles in diabetic and nondiabetic patients on aspirin clopidogrel therapy, two patient populations were included to investigate the 1) acute effects of a 300-mg loading dose (group 1, n = 52) 2) long-term 2, 120) compared with already treatment.

The clinical value of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic total occlusions (CTOs) is not established by randomized trials. This study should compare the benefit PCI vs. optimal medical therapy (OMT) on health status in patients with at least one CTO.Three hundred and ninety-six were enrolled a prospective randomized, multicentre, open-label, controlled trial to treatment OMT 2:1 randomization ratio. primary endpoint was change assessed Seattle angina questionnaire (SAQ)...
Stenting an angiographically intermediate but functionally non-significant stenosis is controversial. Nevertheless, it has been questioned if deferral of a lesion on the basis fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement, safe, especially long term. Five-year follow-up DEFER trial showed that outcome after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) based FFR ≥ 0.75 excellent and was not improved by stenting. The aim this study to investigate validity position very In 325 patients scheduled for...

Background Quantitative flow ratio ( QFR ) is a novel modality for physiological lesion assessment based on 3‐dimensional vessel reconstructions and contrast velocity estimates. We evaluated the value of online during routine invasive coronary angiography procedural feasibility, diagnostic performance, agreement with pressure‐wire–derived fractional reserve FFR as gold standard in an international multicenter study.

In comparison with non-occlusive lesions, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of chronic total occlusions (CTO) represents a greater challenge for the interventionalist, due to lower procedural success rates, relatively higher incidence complications and increased rate restenosis. The European Registry Chronic Total Occlusion (ERCTO) was created goal evaluating real impact CTO PCI in context, trying analyse rates success, technical information from procedures patient outcome.Data...
