Volume 16 Number 12

This month a look at the ISCHEMIA trial in relation to real-world practice as applied to patients from the START registry; the novel DynamX bioadaptor system with uncaging elements allowing remodelling of the vessel wall; a post-hoc analysis of low wall shear stress and device target lesion failure from the ABSORB III imaging study; an MDCT study of impaired coronary access following redo TAVI; virtual reality use in conscious sedation during TAVI; coronary stent implantation in the treatment of intracranial stenoses; pulmonary arterial pressure as an indication for ASD closure; renal flow reserve and other haemodynamic measurements to inform revascularisation strategies for renal artery stenosis, and more...
