Background Imaging-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with
better clinical outcomes than angiography-guided PCI. Whether routine optical coherence …

Due to its anatomical features, patients with an obstruction of the left main coronary artery
(LMCA) have an increased risk of death. For years, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) …

Coronary bifurcation lesions account for 15%-20% of all percutaneous coronary
interventions and are associated with greater procedural complexity and consequently at …

Background Coronary bifurcation lesion, as a complex coronary lesion, is associated with
higher risk of long-term poor prognosis than non-bifurcation lesions. The triglyceride …

Background Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for bifurcation lesions can be
technically challenging and is associated with higher risk. There is little data on sex‐based …

Backgrounds The impact of reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) on very long-
term prognosis following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery …

Coronary bifurcation lesions present a challenging lesion subset regarding procedural
complexity and worse patient outcomes as compared to simple lesions. Drug eluting stents …

Background The long-term prognostic impact of a composite of periprocedural major
adverse events (PMAE) following revascularisation for patients with complex coronary artery …

In 2020, nearly 30,000 published references appeared in the PubMed for the search term
“cardiac surgery.” While SARS-CoV-2 affected the number of surgical procedures, it did not …

Background The risk of side branch (SB) occlusion is pivotal for decision-making of stenting
strategies during unprotected left main (LM) bifurcation percutaneous coronary intervention …
