Volume 16 Number 1

This issue includes a special focus on left main CAD with a study of 2-year outcomes of PCI or CABG patients stratified by renal insufficiency; an assessment of the predictive performance of STS risk models for peri-procedural mortality; the EXCEL trial, looking at stroke and renal failure in CABG or PCI patients with LM CAD; and a two-part review of the SYNTAX score; in valvular disease, results from the ENCORE-registry on clinical and CT outcomes after TAVI of patients with asymptomatic contained annulus ruptures; and, in hypertension, a meta-analysis looking at estimated rates of renal artery adverse events following percutaneous renal.
