Volume 19 Number 2

In this issue of EuroIntervention, we have a debate on the revascularisation of calcified nodules In coronary interventions, an expert review on calcified CTOs; CTO PCI; stent failure and calcified nodules; improving FFR calculation using optical flow ratio; bolus vs continuous thermodilution in ANOCA; the resorbable DREAMS 3G scaffold; In interventions for valvular disease and heart failure, permanent pacemaker implantation after cusp overlap vs 3-cusp techniques; and more...
