This issue of EuroIntervention includes an expert consensus of the European Left Atrial Appendage Closure Club presenting their ELAAC classification system for left atrial appendage closure. In original research: an article on how measuring pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation can predict outcomes after PCI, 5-year results of the SORT OUT VIII and SORT OUT IX trials looking at biolimus vs sirolimus drug-coated and drug-eluting stents and comparing a biodegradable-polymer vs a durable-polymer drug-eluting stent for use in left main PCI. The research correspondence discusses 5-year results from the IDEAL-LM trial which compared a biodegradable-polymer vs a durable-polymer drug-eluting stent for use in left main PCI. The trial design covers the design and rationale of the PRAGUE-26 trial for catheter-directed thrombolysis in pulmonary embolism patients. The Anchor the Mother to Advance the Child (AMAC) technique for complex PCI is covered in a flashlight, and then, there is news from the EAPCI; and more...
