The Official Journal of EuroPCR and the European Association of Percutaneous Coronary Interventions (EAPCI)

May 2019

Volume 15 Number 1

For the May/EuroPCR edition we feature a consensus document from the European Bifurcation Club on obstructive bifurcation lesions; articles introducing the BASILICA procedure for bioprosthetic or native aortic scallop intentional laceration to prevent iatrogenic coronary artery obstruction; and an expert review of first-in-man and key trials on whether the failure of Absorb applies to other BRS.
