TCT 2025 | IRONMAN II Study: Sirolimus-Eluting Iron Bioresorbable Stent in Coronary Artery Disease

Bioresorbable coronary stents represent a step toward strategies without permanent metallic implants, although the first polymer-based platforms...

TCT 2025 | VICTORY Trial: super-high-pressure NC balloon vs. IVL in severely calcified coronary lesions

Recent studies such as ECLIPSE have demonstrated the safety of non-compliant (NC) balloons compared with orbital atherectomy,...

TCT 2025 | ShortCUT Trial: intravascular lithotripsy vs. cutting balloon in calcified coronary lesions

Coronary calcification is a major determinant of PCI complexity and failure. Balloon-based plaque-modifying devices —such as cutting...

TCT 2025 | SELUTION4ISR: sirolimus-eluting balloon for in-stent restenosis

In-stent restenosis (ISR) continues to be a relevant clinical challenge in contemporary PCI practice. In the DES...

HELP-PCI: A Fleeting Advantage of Early Heparin in ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction?

In ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), immediate reperfusion through primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) remains the treatment of...

IVUS – Measured Optimal Minimal Stent Area in Left Main Crossover Stenting

The current guidelines recommend the use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) during left main stenting to optimized PCI...

Individual Patient Data Meta-Analysis of FFR vs Conventional Angiography: Less is More?

The conventional coronary angiography has been compared against diverse invasive diagnostic methods, which has cast a shadow...
