In this issue, an expert consensus document from the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography on the use of cardiac computed tomography in the pre-procedural planning of PCIs. In coronary interventions: the EPIC STEMI trial looking at early initiation of alirocumab – a PCSK9 inhibitor – in treating STEMI patients undergoing PCI; the use of ticagrelor with and without aspirin in patients who will undergo PCI and who have had prior coronary artery bypass grafts from the TWILIGHT-CABG study; from the HOST REDUCE POLYTECH trial a look at the different stent polymers in DES and their impact on outcomes after a complex PCI; coronary collateral function after successful CTO PCI; worldwide CTO PCI – standardisation trends, outcomes and future developments; the design of the PROMISE trial looking at the best strategies for caring for MINOCA patients suffering from MI; in peripheral interventions: from the IN.PACT Global study, a look at the effectiveness of paclitaxel-coated balloons in treating PAD; and more...
