Restenosis of Drug-Eluting Stents: A New Classification System Based on Disease Mechanism to Guide Treatment and State-of-the-Art Review.

TL;DR: An algorithmic approach, guided by intracoronary imaging, for the treatment of DES-ISR, is recommended based on the specific cause of restenosis, which differentiates among mechanical, biological, and mixed etiologies.
Journal ArticleDOI

State of the art: evolving concepts in the treatment of heavily calcified and undilatable coronary stenoses - from debulking to plaque modification, a 40-year-long journey.

TL;DR: A 40-year-long journey that has evolved from the initial stand-alone debulking strategy to the currently applied coronary plaque modification is described, with the main objective of optimising drug-eluting stent delivery and implantation, translating into significantly improved patient outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Real-World Multicenter Registry of Patients with Severe Coronary Artery Calcification Undergoing Orbital Atherectomy.

TL;DR: In the largest real‐world study of patients who underwent orbital atherectomy, including high‐risk patients who were not surgical candidates as well as those with very complex coronary anatomy, acute and short‐term adverse clinical event rates were low.
Journal ArticleDOI

COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) and the Heart - An Ominous Association.

TL;DR: 2 cases of COVID-19 infection with myocardial involvement with distinct mechanistic pathways and outcomes are presented and important decision strategies such as the timing of cardiac catheterization and requirement of early hemodynamic support in critically ill patients are discussed.
