Balloon Lithoplasty for Preparation of Severely Calcified Coronary Lesions
Severely calcified coronary stenoses are difficult to treat with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using current techniques and there is little specific evidence on how to best treat these cases. It is hypothesized that balloon lithoplasty is superior to conventional balloons for lesion preparation of severely calcified coronary lesions before stent …

Resting Full-cycle Flow Ratio (RFR) Versus Angiography to Guide Revascularization Strategy in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery By-pass Grafting (CABG)
Different trials have shown that fractional flow reserve (FFR) could successfully guide revascularization in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It is conceivable that a similar revascularization guidance could be useful also for surgical revascularization i.e. coronary by-pass graft (CABG).

OCT Evaluation of Early Vascular Repair in Patients With Non ST Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome (NSTE-ACS)
This is a prospective study of a new generation of drug-eluting stent in the treatment of non ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the extent of early vascular repair in NSTE-ACS patients after receiving the new generation of drug-eluting stents, and the …

Management and Outcomes of Patients Admitted to Coronary Care Units Depending on Degree of Frailty and Comorbidities
Background Patients less than 80 years of age, who suffer a myocardial infarction (MI) are usually (>90%) offered an early invasive strategy including coronary angiography possibly followed by intervention, preferably percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Among non ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) patients, 80 years of age or over, only approximately 40% …

Effect of FFRCT-angio in Functional Diagnosis of Coronary Artery Stenosis
The cutoff value of FFR to detect significant ischemia is set to be 0.80, indicating that PCI should be considered if FFR0.80. However, FFR does have some limitations, such as risks of pressure wire injury, extra time and cost, and side effects of hyperemic agents.
