Introduction Information on coronary physiology is increasingly important to inform treatment decisions in the cardiac catheter laboratory. The purpose of this article is to review the rationale and indications for fractional flow reserve (FFR), coronary flow reserve (CFR) and the index of microvascular resistance (IMR) in interventional cardiology practice. A second objective is to highlight… View more

In this video, Dr Carlos Collet (Cardiovascular Center OLV-Aalst, Aalst, BE) outlines the findings of the UZ Clear study, originally presented at CRT 2022. The UZ Clear study was designed to analyse the diagnostic performance of non-invasive cardiac stress tests to detect coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients. Dr Collet reveals that around half the patients presenting with chest pain had… View more

TCT 23 - We are joined by Dr Giovanni Luigi Di Maria (John Radcliffe Hospital, UK) to discuss the findings of the PICSO-AMI-I study (NCT04958421), sponsored by Miracor Medical. The PICSO-AMI-I study aimed to assess the safety and feasibility of pressure-controlled intermittent coronary sinus occlusion (PiCSO) in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (MI), presenting with TIMI 0 or 1… View more

Today, the interest in optimal treatment of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) has never been greater. Several factors have contributed to this including an expanding patient population, the poorer prognosis of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel disease and the recent evidence from randomised trials suggesting that multivessel percutaneous coronary… View more

Coronary artery disease (CAD), the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in the US, is frequently identified by coronary angiography. Decisions for treatment are often based on angiography alone, absent other clinical indicators for intervention. However, by angiography alone, conventional wisdom has suggested that a coronary stenosis is significant if there is at least a 50 % diameter… View more
