The Official Journal of EuroPCR and the European Association of Percutaneous Coronary Interventions (EAPCI)
October 2023
In this month’s issue, we start with an EAPCI consensus statement on transcatheter interventions for left-sided valvular heart disease complicated by cardiogenic shock; a description of the design and rationale of the DEDICATE Trial comparing the efficacy and safety of TAVI compared to SAVR in low- to intermediate-risk patients; minimally invasive beating-heart tricuspid valve surgery versus transcatheter edge-to-edge repair; the first-in-human experiences with the VDyne valve, a novel transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement prothesis; optimal treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions; Orsiro vs COMBO sirolimus-eluting stents: the SORT OUT X trial; pulmonary artery denervation in patients with Group 1 pulmonary arterial hypertension; contrast retention grading for stroke risk stratification; optical coherence tomography to visualise the endothelialisation of left atrial appendage occluders; viewpoints on aspirin bridging and the importance of the peer review; and more...
