Volume 18 Number 5

This edition features the first part of an Expert consensus from the European Bifurcation Club on the step-by-step approach, with possible pitfalls, when implanting the first stent in provisional stenting for coronary bifurcation lesions. From the GLOBAL LEADERS trial, choosing ticagrelor vs aspirin monotherapy 1 year after PCI; three-year results from the MAGSTEMI trial on magnesium-based bioresorbable scaffold vs permanent metallic sirolimus-eluting stent in STEMI patients; using OCT to better understand vasospasm and atherosclerosis in patients with angina and no obstructive coronary artery disease (ANOCA); a study on predicting long-term needs for redo TAVI in treating patients with severe AS – when to choose TAVI or SAVR; TAVI vs SAVR in morbidly obese patients; Phoenix endovascular atherectomy in peripheral artery disease (PAD); and more...

In this issue of EuroIntervention

The 16th expert consensus from the European Bifurcation Club; ticagrelor or aspirin monotherapy 1 year after PCI; magnesium scaffolds in STEMI; the relationship between coronary vasospasm and atherosclerosis in ANOCA; lifetime valve journey with severe aortic stenosis; endovascular atherectomy in PAD; and more...including our new impact factor!
