01- ISCHEMIA: Prognosis is Determined by Anatomy, not Functionality The ISCHEMIA study keeps providing scientific news. This work in patients with stable coronary artery disease had already shown (to our surprise) that ischemic burden does not predict 4-year mortality.

Patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) will benefit from rivaroxaban monotherapy both in terms of safety and efficacy. The AFIRE study included 2215 patients with atrial fibrillation and stable coronary artery disease (CAD). A subgroups analysis recently published in JACC Intv evaluated patients undergoing coronary stenting. The study compared rivaroxaban + antiplatelet...
Bifurcations have been, are and will be challenging. However, we have to admit we have gained experience and have more tools than pioneer interventionists and many of the early experts who have made history. This study assessed the ten-year trends in coronary bifurcation percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) looking at patient and lesion characteristics, devices used,...
According to this large European registry, drug-eluting balloons (DEBs) are competing with drug-eluting stents (DES) to treat in-stent restenosis. Drug-eluting balloons seem to work equally well for the treatment of long-term in-stent restenosis compared with new stent implantation (for the thin-strut DES registry). If DEBs can compete with DES—adding to the advantage of avoiding a...

01- ESC 2021 | Updated European Society of Cardiology Guidelines for the Management of Valvular Heart Disease Early intervention in asymptomatic valvular heart disease, age recommendations to decide between TAVR and surgery for aortic stenosis, and a push in favor of transcatheter repair in secondary mitral regurgitation are some of the new modifications to the European...
In patients at high risk of bleeding undergoing coronary stenting with a Xience stent, 1-to-3-month DAPT period resulted non-inferior to a 6-to-12-month period in terms of ischemic events, and this could be associated to a lower rate of major bleeding and lower stent thrombosis incidence. There is no longer an indication for conventional stents in...
