Meta-Analysis

Revascularisation completeness, timing and guidance for MI and MV-CAD
Claudio Laudani, Davide Capodanno, et al.
In patients with acute myocardial infarction and multivessel coronary artery disease, immediate complete revascularization, whether angiographically or functionally guided, reduces recurrent myocardial infarction and repeat revascularization compared to infarct-related artery-only revascularization and staged complete revascularization.

Necessity of completeness in multivessel acute MI
Pieter C. Smits, Valeria Paradies
A network meta-analysis found that complete revascularization, whether angiography- or physiology-guided, reduces recurrent myocardial infarction compared to culprit-only revascularization in STEMI patients.

A new issue of EuroIntervention

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.

Coronary stenosis evaluation in diabetes mellitus
Nieves Gonzalo, Marco Lombardi
A subanalysis of the FLAVOUR trial found that FFR and IVUS offer comparable outcomes in guiding PCI for intermediate low-complexity coronary lesions, regardless of diabetic status.

Impact of diabetes on FFR- and IVUS-guided PCI
Sung Woo Cho, Joon-Hyung Doh, et al.
In patients with intermediate coronary stenosis and low lesion complexity, FFR guidance had no significant differences in MACE or TVF, with a lower frequency of PCI compared to IVUS guidance, regardless of diabetes status.

ICI for all or some?
Ziad A. Ali, Gregg W. Stone, et al.
This content discusses the utility of intracoronary imaging (ICI) techniques, such as IVUS and OCT, in overcoming the limitations of angiography and guiding percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

IVI-guided PCI according to lesion complexity
Sang Yoon Lee, Joo Myung Lee, et al.
In patients with complex coronary lesions, intravascular imaging-guided PCI showed lower risk of target vessel failure compared to angiography-guided PCI, with greater benefit as the number of complex lesion features increased.

The debacle of QFR
Carlos Collet, Takuya Mizukami, et al.
The FAVOR III subanalysis suggests that quantitative flow ratio (QFR) may not be as reliable as invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) in guiding clinical decision-making for percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with stable coronary artery disease.

Safety of deferral by QFR in FAVOR III Europe
Birgitte K. Andersen, Javier Escaned, et al.
This post-hoc analysis of the FAVOR III Europe trial found that QFR-based deferral of coronary artery revascularization resulted in a higher incidence of 1-year major adverse cardiac events compared to FFR-based deferral, mainly driven by unplanned revascularizations.

Prediction of delayed conduction disturbances after TAVI
Francesco Bendandi, Francesco Saia et al.
This study developed and validated the D-PACE score to predict high-grade atrioventricular block occurring between 24 hours and 30 days after transcatheter aortic valve implantation. The score can identify low-risk patients suitable for next-day discharge.
