This study examines the mechanisms behind residual or recurrent angina after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with obstructive coronary artery disease, finding that the pathophysiology is complex and not solely due to mechanical stress on the vessel wall.

This pilot study found that while ticagrelor monotherapy after primary PCI for STEMI did not show a significant difference in ischemic events compared to dual antiplatelet therapy, it demonstrated a trend towards lower rates of overall clinical bleeding events and a significant reduction in non-access site bleeding events.

This study compared the haemodynamic performance and prosthesis-patient mismatch of three transcatheter aortic valves (Portico, Evolut, SAPIEN 3) in patients with small and large aortic annuli. Portico and Evolut had similar outcomes, while Portico outperformed SAPIEN 3 in both annulus sizes.

A 71-year-old male with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction was treated with a bioresorbable magnesium scaffold, but developed severe in-stent restenosis at 6 months due to scaffold collapse, confirmed by OCT and IVUS.

The SAFE-PROTECT trial found that the novel AnchorMan left atrial appendage closure device was non-inferior to the Watchman 2.5 device in terms of clinical success and LAA occlusion rates in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation at high risk of ischemic stroke.
