In this issue of EuroIntervention, we begin with a debate on whether an invasive functional diagnosis of angina or ischaemia with non-obstructive coronary arteries (ANOCA and INOCA) should become routine. Original research articles concern the significance of COVADIS criteria in acetylcholine testing; testing a novel sirolimus drug-coated balloon (DCB) versus paclitaxel DCBs in coronary bifurcation lesions in the SPACIOUS trial; and the ULTRA-BIFURCAT registry, which looked at final kissing balloon inflation in bifurcation lesions. There is a flashlight proposing a novel training method for emergency endovascular stroke interventions; an EAPCI focus on the Valvular and Structural Heart Interventions Committee; and more...
