This issue of EuroIntervention includes an expert review focusing on the AngioVac System used in transcatheter vacuum-assisted aspiration as an alternative to surgery for certain high-risk patients with intracardiac and intravascular masses. In original research a post hoc analysis of outcomes following revascularisation versus conservative management in treating 3-vessel disease from the ISCHEMIA trial; the accuracy of a computed tomography-derived Murray law-based quantitative flow ratio, CT-μFR, for assessing coronary lesions; transoesophageal echocardiographic follow-up after mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair to evaluate anatomical changes and structural complications. A trial design discussing the design and rationale of the DAPT-SHOCK-AMI trial − comparing cangrelor versus crushed ticagrelor in patients with acute MI and cardiogenic shock; a viewpoint on the challenge of what might be missed in the cath lab; editorials; news from the EAPCI; and more...
