Where are we with drug-coated balloons (DCB) in PCI? Five thoughts. 1) The use of DCB in patients with in-stent restenosis, especially of a bare metal stent, is well established and evidence-based (now also in the US). 2) Conversely, DCB use in de novo disease lacks compelling

Today we're in Leicester celebrating the 20th anniversary meeting of Chronic Total Occlusions: An Introduction to CTO PCI Our MD, Fiona, reflected on the 20-year #LeicesterCTO legacy which involved the late Professor Tony Gershlick

Nice to see our study published in EuroIntervention exploring the effects of #IVL in different Ca morphologies by #OCT Thank you to all the co-authors 🙏 Check it out 👉 10.4244/EIJ-D-23-00605 Nieves Gonzalo Javier Escaned Alejandro Travieso PCRonline 🫀

Great to see our review on SCAD in press. Well done Dr Quan Dang, led by A/Prof Sarah Zaman for driving this paper with Peter J Psaltis Jacqueline Saw A/Prof Sonya Burgess nature.com/articles/s4432…

Every now and then there is a device in interventional cardiology that becomes adopted at a bewildering speed - DES and IVL are two examples, availability of evidence came much later than widespread acceptance. What a difference with intracoronary imaging! Makes you think 🤔!

Mona Tirén Matthias Götberg Rasha Al-Lamee Carlos Collet MD PhD Tom Johnson Great title for a lecture Matthias! Below is an alternative one. Can a physiology index kill selectively? You need to be Bond to do it w/o causing harm (MI, repeat revasc)? What were the consequences of NOT performing revascularisation in FAME II / ISCHEMIA? Please share views!

Gracias a todos los colaboradores de España 🇪🇸 e Italia🇮🇹 Aunque se observa una mayor fractura en las lesiones concéntricas en comparación con las excéntricas después de la #IVL, no se observa diferencia en la expansión del stent entre estas morfologías con #OCT

Angio-IMR demonstrates to be as useful as invasive IMR to detect MVO after STEMI, without the need for additional intracoronary instrumentation after primary PCI. Congrats Lin and the whole team! Javier Escaned Asad Shabbir Dejan Milasinovic Nieves Gonzalo Marco Lombardi

ULTIMATE III: Intravascular ultrasound vs #angiography-guided drug-coated 🎈 #angioplasty #EAPCI/PCR Journal Club review ✍️ pcronline.com/PCR-Publicatio… The results of this study 📊, reviewed by Nicola Ryan, show that #IVUS guidance is associated with less late lumen loss

This study by Angela McInerney provided insights into the impact of coronary calcium morphology on intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) outcomes. IVL shows consistent efficacy across different calcified patterns, ensuring optimal stenting results. Explore the detailed findings in the
