In this retrospective analysis of 25 patients, the authors describe the combination use of rotational or orbital atherectomy with intravascular lithotripsy for modifying calcification prior to stent implantation during percutaneous coronary intervention: okt.to/A0mKC7

5-year follow up of DEFINE-FLAIR (iFR vs FFR-guided revascularisation) presented by Javier Escaned #EuroPCR2023 ➡️ MACE higher in iFR arm (HR 1.18; CI 0.99 - 1.41, p=0.07) ➡️ All-cause death 3% higher in iFR arm (HR 1.51; CI 1.22 - 2.90) ➡️ Difference driven by CV death

In this image series, the authors describe an aorto-ostial stenting technique that uses a dual-lumen catheter and floating wire to back a JR4 guide away from a protruding stent while maintaining stability for another guidewire to enter the central lumen: okt.to/G4Pp06

Evandro Martins F.

HDR is an INTRA plaque phenomenon. Contrast guided STAR is an EXTRA plaque phenomenon. A gentle micro (<0.5 ml) injection keeps contrast intra plaque - thus favoring HDR. Figure from our paper in CCI.

Early combination therapy during acute ACS admission ➡️ earlier target achievement ➡️ better prognosis. Care pathways post MI could be simplified: statin + ezetimibe at discharge, ⬇️ the number of steps needed to improve LDL-C control.
