Physiologically Significant Obstructions in the Left Main Coronary Artery: Revascularizing vs. Deferring
Most randomized studies on revascularization in stable coronary artery disease exclude left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD). One example of this was the ISCHEMIA study. However, the benefits of functional lesion assessment, as demonstrated in the FAME studies, highlight the importance of this tool in guiding decisions regarding revascularization. Nevertheless, the clinical outcomes of patients...
Virtual Flow Reserve (VFR): Virtual Physiological Test with OCT
Assessing intermediate coronary lesions with intracoronary physiology tests such as fractional flow reserve (FFR) or other non-hyperemic indices is considered the standard of care by both American and European societies. Likewise, intravascular imaging techniques (IVI), be it IVUS or optical coherence tomography (OCT), are of great use in assessing and guiding complex coronary lesions and...
Rehospitalization After Treatment of Left Main Coronary Artery Disease and Its Prognosis: Sub-Analysis of the EXCEL Study
Individual randomized studies have shown variable results regarding the mortality risk following treatment of left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD), either through percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). However, upon assessment of the latest meta-analyses (with matched data), similar risks of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality have been reported for both groups....
Treatment of Femoropopliteal Lesions with Low-Dose vs. High-Dose Drug-Coated Balloons
The use of drug-covered balloons (DCBs) has increased significantly for the endovascular treatment of femoropopliteal arterial disease. Previous studies on first-generation high-dose DCB (HD-DCB) have validated its benefits, thus supporting its recommendation in current clinical guidelines. However, there have been reports of adverse effects associated with paclitaxel and its excipients. Second-generation, lower-dose DCBs (LD-DCB) have...
Use of Intravascular Lithotripsy in Left Main
The Left main coronary artery supplies circulation to roughly 70% of myocardium, and left main disease requires a high risk intervention with significant impact on patient prognosis. The current guidelines have set the threshold for intervention in LM disease at ≥50% stenosis, irrespective of the presence of symptoms or ischemic burden. LM calcification is an...
Sub-Analysis of the REVIVED-BCIS2: Myocardial Viability Changes Prognosis in Ischemic Cardiomyopathy Revascularization?
The purpose of myocardial viability testing is to identify patients that might benefit from revascularization by diagnosing three types of myocardium: normal, viable or hibernating, and scarred (non-viable). Non-randomized studies have shown recovery of a viable ventricle after myocardial revascularization surgery (CABG) and improved survival. However, a sub-analysis of the main study on viability testing,...
