Studies with second-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) have shown that the rate of target lesion failure (TLF) increases linearly up to 5–10 years of follow-up,...
Percutaneous coronary intervention in long coronary lesions continues to represent a technical and clinical challenge, in which the use of conventional cylindrical stents may...
Coronary artery disease (CAD) in smaller epicardial vessels occurs in 30% to 67% of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention and poses particular technical challenges....
Coronary bifurcations are one of the most challenging scenarios in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) due to their anatomical complexity, the risk of carina shift,...
The transfemoral approach is the predominant strategy for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Although vascular complications are currently less frequent, they remain relevant determinants...
As TAVI expands into younger populations and patients with lower surgical risk, prosthesis durability has become a key aspect of long-term management. The NAVITOR...
In-stent restenosis (ISR) continues to represent a relevant clinical challenge in contemporary coronary angioplasty practice. Despite advances in drug-eluting stents, neointimal hyperplasia and suboptimal...
