TL;DR: Patients undergoing PPCI had a significantly lower bleeding risk as compared to CRUSADE NSTEMI population, including patients with radial artery approach, and CBRS accurately predicted major in-hospital bleeding in this different clinical scenario.

TL;DR: Coronary artery aneurysms are not uncommon and Usually, they are associated with coronary stenosis and high cardiovascular risk, but antiplatelet therapy seems reasonable and a percutaneous approach is safe and effective.

TL;DR: In ischaemic patients implanted with an ICD for primary prevention, a CTO associated with a previous infarction in its territory is an independent predictor of VA and, especially, of fast VT/VF, identifying a subgroup of patients with a very high rate of arrhythmic events at follow‐up.

TL;DR: In patients with left bundle branch block referred for primary percutaneous coronary intervention, the BARCELONA algorithm was specific and highly sensitive for the diagnosis of AMI, leading to a diagnostic accuracy comparable to that obtained by ECG in patients without left bundle branches block.

TL;DR: The prevention of AKI appeared predominantly responsible for the mortality benefit of radial as compared with femoral access in the MATRIX trial, and there was little evidence for an equally important, independent role of bleeding.
