Volume 20 Number 16

The special print/online edition of EuroIntervention coincides with ESC’s annual Congress and offers a state-of-the-art review on antithrombotic therapy in transcatheter structural heart interventions; a viewpoint on sustainable cath labs; a debate on concomitant left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) and mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair. In original research articles include: the effects of off-hours admissions in STEMI-cardiogenic shock patients requiring mechanical circulatory support; new-onset atrial fibrillation in acute coronary syndrome patients; coronary thermodilution during exercise to evaluate ANOCA; evaluating a simplified treatment after LAAO; patent foramen ovale closure in elderly patients. A research correspondence on the diagnostic accuracy of QFR in patients with arrhythmias; a flashlight on the double-tap technique for high-risk annuli; the traditional EAPCI Presidential criss-cross; and more...
