The Official Journal of EuroPCR and the European Association of Percutaneous Coronary Interventions (EAPCI)
October 2019
This issue looks at the impact of an horizontal aorta in TAVI; the VIVALL pilot study using a innovative THV to treat degenerated surgical valves; the significance of healed plaques with a multi-layered (ML) pattern in patients with acute coronary and stable angina; the prognostic impact of the SYNTAX score II in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI; and introduces the use of the CT bifurcation score as a novel tool for predicting intraprocedural side branch occlusion
