Volume 17 Number 17

A State-of-the-Art on all aspects of antiplatelet therapy after percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). The use of intravascular lithotripsy to enable TF TAVI in PAD patients with severe calcific atherosclerosis at the iliofemoral axis; using pre-operative CTO to measure renal cortex thickness as an indication for renal functional change in patients undergoing TAVI; the impact of left ventricular outflow tract calcification on TAVI outcomes. A meta-analysis of mechanical thrombectomy for treating acute ischaemic strokes using retrievable stents and aspiration catheters. Determining optimal transseptal puncture sites using preprocedural cardiac computed tomography for percutaneous left atrial appendage closure. The safety and efficacy of drug-coated paclitaxel balloons versus percutaneous transluminal angioplasty for infrapopliteal chronic total occlusions from the IN.PACT BTK trial; and more...
