Due to anatomical reasons and the distributive function of the coronary tree, bifurcation sites are prone to the development of atherosclerotic lesions as a result of flow turbulence generating pro-atherogenous low wall shear stress (WSS). Over the past few years, coronary bifurcation lesions have been the subject of intense therapeutic discussions fuelled by new definitions, classifications … View more

Currently, the optimal treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in patients presenting with ST-segment-elevation MI (STEMI) is to perform a primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as quickly as possible after onset of symptoms.1,2 While this has become the standard of care for treating AMI, several factors, including limited availability of catheterisation laboratories in a… View more

Advances in drug-eluting stent technology have continued to improve clinical outcomes for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The development of the platinum– chromium (PtCr) alloy and Element™ stent architecture (or platform) is the result of more than eight years of research and development by Boston Scientific Corporation (BSC; Natick, MA, US) and builds on a pedigree… View more

Terminology When the first-in-human implantation of a bioresorbable device into the coronary artery was reported in 2007, the term ‘fully bioabsorbable stent’ was used.1 Later, in 2011, Onuma and colleagues explained that the term ‘bioresorbable’ provides a more precise description of the complete cleavage of macromolecules to small molecules with total elimination and the term ‘scaffold’ was… View more

Many experts would agree that the concept of looking at vessel architecture from the inside using intracoronary probes, instead of simply relying on the angiographic vessel cast, is an elegant way to practise interventional cardiology in order to decide whether to treat a coronary artery and to guide coronary intervention. The historical development of stents neatly exemplifies this notion: the… View more

It is estimated that 15-20 % of all coronary interventional procedures involve side branches.1 Side branches are frequently related to periprocedural complications. Side branch occlusion or compromise appears to be the underlying cause of approximately 30 % of periprocedural myocardial infarctions.2 Periprocedural infarction in turn is an important predictor of midterm mortality3. Considering any… View more

“I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.” Sir Isaac Newton Advances in Percutaneous Coronary Intervention – An Overview Over the last 10 years, the… View more

The treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has substantially improved in recent decades. Thrombolysis, the former first-line therapy, which is inexpensive and may be administered without noteworthy delay in primary care or pre-hospital settings, has been replaced by primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) despite the inherent delay of transfering patients to a cardiac… View more
