Ultrathin DES for in-stent restenosis
Ovidio De Filippo, Wojciech Wańha, et al.
This study compared the efficacy of ultrathin-strut drug-eluting stents, thin-strut drug-eluting stents, and drug-eluting balloons for the treatment of drug-eluting stent in-stent restenosis. Ultrathin-strut drug-eluting stents were associated with reduced risk of device-oriented composite endpoints, target lesion revascularization, and target vessel revascularization in patients with diffuse in-stent restenosis.

FFR-CT in patients with high-risk NSTE-ACS
David Meier, Stephane Fournier et al.

In patients with high-risk non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome, FFR-CT has superior diagnostic performance compared to CCTA alone in ruling out significant coronary artery disease and reducing unnecessary invasive procedures.

DAPT-SHOCK-AMI trial
Zuzana Motovska, Deepak L. Bhatt, et al.
The DAPT-SHOCK-AMI trial is a randomized, placebo-controlled study comparing the efficacy and safety of intravenous cangrelor versus ticagrelor in 550 patients with cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction undergoing primary angioplasty.

ISCHEMIA 3-vessel disease
Sripal Bangalore, Judith S. Hochman, et al.
In patients with 3-vessel coronary artery disease, revascularization with PCI or CABG was associated with a lower 4-year rate of cardiovascular death or myocardial infarction compared to conservative management, but the impact on all-cause mortality was uncertain.

The CABG phoenix
John A. Bittl
The U.S. coronary revascularization guidelines downgraded the recommendation for using CABG surgery to improve survival in patients with multivessel chronic coronary disease, but future studies may provide evidence for a survival advantage of CABG.

Accuracy of CT-μFR
Tingwen Weng, Shengxian Tu, et al.
The CAREER Study found that the patient-level accuracy of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA)-derived Murray law-based quantitative flow ratio (CT-μFR) was 89.6%, with high sensitivity and specificity, in identifying patients with hemodynamically significant coronary stenosis.

Absolute coronary flow before and after TAVI
Emanuele Gallinoro, Emanuele Barbato, et al.
This study found no acute changes in coronary flow and resistance after TAVI, but a significant increase in hyperaemic perfusion at 6-month follow-up due to reverse left ventricular remodelling.

Continuous thermodilution and ANOCA endotypes
Valeria Paradies, Pieter C. Smits, et al.
This study evaluated the diagnostic potential of hyperaemic absolute coronary flow (Qmax) and absolute microvascular resistance (Rμ,hyper) in patients with angina and non-obstructive coronary arteries (ANOCA). Qmax and Rμ,hyper were associated with a positive coronary function test, and Qmax was linked to microvascular dysfunction but not vasomotor dysregulation.

Simplification of continuous intracoronary thermodilution
Thabo Mahendiran, Bernard De Bruyne, et al.
This study developed a simplified method for continuous intracoronary thermodilution that eliminates the need to measure the entry temperature of the saline infusate, without compromising the accuracy of coronary blood flow measurements.
