The Official Journal of EuroPCR and the European Association of Percutaneous Coronary Interventions (EAPCI)
January 2023
State-of-the-Art on the treatment of mitral regurgitation using mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair, offering an in-depth overview of the procedure, devices and techniques. In Interventions for valvular disease and heart failure: Articles comparing the ACURATE neo2 device with Evolut PRO/PRO + and SAPIEN 3 Ultra. Also in interventions for valvular disease, a call for further studies of long-term durability and life expectancy after TAVI vs SAVR. In coronary interventions, a mini focus on vulnerable plaque including determination of plaque composition and vulnerability – radial wall strain and implications of quantitative and qualitative high-risk plaque; also, the PROGRESS-CTO perforation score, a new risk score for predicting coronary artery perforation based on CTO PCI ; and more…
