In this issue of EuroIntervention, a State-of-the-Art on lipid-lowering therapy and PCI. In the coronary section: thin- versus thick-strut biodegradable polymer stents and the effectiveness of ultrathin-strut DES from the SCAAR registry. A mini focus on acute myocardial infarction with outcomes of STEMI patients with COVID-19; the use of microvascular function assessment in determining STEMI treatment strategies; the study protocol of EURO-ICE, a trial of selective intracoronary hypothermia to improve primary PCI. In the valvular disease section: the clinical impact of re-clipping or surgery following failed transcatheter mitral valve repair; the predictors and management of transcatheter heart valve thrombosis after transcatheter mitral valve implantation.
