This edition presents a novel method to assess strain and mechanical stress applied to bioprosthetic valve leaflets during the cardiac cycle; a look at the haemodynamic implications of primary implantation of an IABP versus inotropes for decompensated heart failure and low output; a study of MLA relocation after BRS or metallic stent implantation; from the AIDA trial, a comparison of everolimus-eluting BRS with an everolimus-eluting metallic stent and the MeRes-1 trial, studying outcomes of a thin-strut sirolimus-eluting bioresorbable vascular scaffold.
