Contrary to popular wisdom, predominantly unilateral aortoiliac bifurcation disease can be safely treated with a single stent if the contralateral common iliac ostium is protected with matching balloon inflation.

A dual-access approach for CTO intervention using transradial and ipsilateral transulnar access is reported. Although retrograde CTO intervention is a challenging procedure, a single arm-double access approach seems to be a feasible...

Although intramural hematomas are identifiable on intravascular ultrasound, OCT offers superior characterization and exclusion of alternate diagnoses, such as plaque erosion.

Bypass grafts may tent the vessel to which they are anastomosed, potentially changing the expected course of the native coronary vessel. This fact must be taken into account during CTO-PCI, and this case emphasizes the importance of careful...

Aorto-coronary occlusion is a particularly difficult lesion to treat, especially in an emergent setting. To our knowledge, this is the first description of the use of a microcatheter not to support the guidewire, but to open an aorto-coronary...

We present data on 2162 patients from the ongoing United States multicenter XLPAD registry between 2006-2016 to compare stent vs non-stent treatment outcomes and associated costs in FP interventions.

More than 50% of embolic strokes occur >24 hours after TAVR and are therefore not directly procedure related. We aimed to determine immediate changes in LA function after TAVR, that may alter short-term and long-term stroke risk after...
