In coronary interventions: the proximal optimisation technique vs kissing balloon technique for bifurcation lesions; impact of ageing on fractional flow reserve and instantaneous wave-free ratio; detecting acute myocardial infarction early with a deep learning model and, in stroke: incidence of major bleeding events following left atrial appendage occlusion… and more.
