Prof Nicolas Van Mieghem and Dr Joost Daemen return with their critical review series, View from the Thoraxcenter, to preview the most anticipated late-breaking and featured science trials of ACC.23.

Which trials have the potential to change practice? What are the key considerations for patient care and research? What is the context of the top trials of ACC?

Trials covered in detail include:
