This issue of EuroIntervention brings you a meta-analysis on the completeness, timing and guidance of revascularisation strategies for myocardial infarction and multivessel coronary artery disease; original research looking at whether the assessment of non-culprit lesions by OCT or μQFR offers the best prognostic value for acute myocardial infarction patients; a large nationwide Korean study on the impact of proton pump inhibitors in post-myocardial infarction patients on dual antiplatelet therapy; and a research correspondence on a novel method for risk stratification concerning plaque vulnerability looking at radial wall strain in carotid plaques. There is also news from the EAPCI; and more.
This issue of EuroIntervention includes a state-of-the-art on the use of mechanical circulatory support in complex, high-risk PCI. In original research, articles on the safety of revascularisation deferral using either QFR or FFR from the FAVOR III Europe trial; outcomes of intravascular imaging-guided PCI according to lesion complexity; outcomes of FFR and IVUS guidance for PCI in patients with or without diabetes. A flashlight on ringer-facilitated reverse CART; international relations of the EAPCI; and more.
