TL;DR: In this article , the authors conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare survival in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS) to those in whom support was initiated following PCI (post-PCI).

TL;DR: In this article , the ping-pong technique was used for bifurcation PCI by using two 5F Judkin's Left (JL) guides in a transradial "slender" double-guiding catheter strategy.

TL;DR: The collagen-based MANTA device (Teleflex, PA, USA) is used for closure of large-bore vascular access in real-life setting as mentioned in this paper , but there is a paucity of data on complications associated with its use in a real life setting.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors performed a patient-level meta-analysis to determine the frequency, impact and predictors of MANTA-related access complications and found that access complications most often consisted of vessel dissection, stenosis or occlusion.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors presented their experience using secondary distal radial access during transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), proposing a new, even more minimal approach.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the rate of culprit lesion identification during coronary angiography in patients with acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) and multivessel disease (MVD).

TL;DR: The COBRA-REDUCE trial as discussed by the authors is a prospective, multinational, randomized, open-label, assessor-blinded trial to determine whether coronary stent with the polymer polyzene F-coated (COBRA PzF) stent followed by 14 days of clopidogrel will reduce bleeding without increasing thrombo-embolic events compared with FDA-approved DES followed by 3-6 months clopidine-based OAC and aspirin.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors evaluated the impact of peri-procedural myocardial injury (PPMI) and incidental coronary artery disease (iCAD) on outcomes in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).

TL;DR: In this article , platelet adhesion and neutrophil activation, assessed by immunofluorescence, were compared under simulated cytokine storm and control conditions (untreated blood) (n = 4 experimental runs), and the fluoropolymer-coated stents showed the most favorable anti-thrombogenic and anti-inflammatory properties.

TL;DR: In this article , the optimal preparation for plaque oppression/debulking before DCB dilatation for de novo coronary artery lesion was investigated for stentless percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using a drug coated balloon.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors evaluated the long-term outcomes of an absorbable metallic scaffold at 5 years and showed favorable longterm safety and clinical performance with low target lesion failure rates and absence of definite or probable scaffold thrombosis throughout 5 years.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors reviewed the incidence, clinical factors, and management strategies for radial access site complications associated with cardiac catheterization, including spasm, catheter kinking, and perforation.

TL;DR: In this article , the feasibility, efficacy and safety of the RotaTripsy approach in severe calcified coronary artery lesions were evaluated in 34 patients from a real-word, multicenter, cohort of patients affected by severely calcified artery lesions.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors performed a meta-analysis evaluating the impact of sex differences on clinical outcomes of patients undergoing atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) and found that females had higher rates of major bleeding (RR 1.93, 95% CI 1.40-2.26; P = 0.03) compared with males.

TL;DR: In this article , a quantitative comparison of saline and contrast Frequency Domain Optical Coherence tomography (FD-OCT) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) optimisation was performed.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors describe a post-closure technique for the next generation Impella CP removal and immediate hemostasis, which may significantly reduce vascular complications associated with device removal and may improve clinical outcomes for critically ill patients.

TL;DR: The OPTIMUM registry as mentioned in this paper is the first prospective, multicenter study to examine treatment strategies and outcomes among multivessel CAD patients deemed ineligible for surgical revascularization after heart team assessment.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors compared short and long-term outcomes following various alternative access routes for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and found that non-thoracic alternative access site utilization for TAVR implantation (TC, TSA and TCV) is associated with outcomes similar to conventional TF access.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors examined the association between mortality and mechanical circulatory support (MCS) initiated before vs after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS).

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors evaluated the benefit of ECPELLA compared to VA-ECMO in patients with non-pericardiotomy CS and reported that ECpella may reduce 30-day mortality and increase left ventricle recovery, despite increased of bleeding rates.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors analyzed the characteristics and outcome of Impella mechanical circulatory support (MCS) for Takotsubo syndrome (TS) with cardiogenic shock.

TL;DR: Magmaris as mentioned in this paper is a resorbable scaffold for coronary artery lesion treatment, which has been shown to have similar mechanical properties to those of conventional bare metal stents, and previous experience using polymer-based scaffolds has shown that a standardized implantation technique and optimal patient and lesion selection are key factors for a successful implantation.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors identify the predictors of mortality due to the rising rate of TAVR utilization and subsequent mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) were excluded from all major trials on the safety of transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

TL;DR: Robotic percutaneous coronary intervention (R-PCI) as discussed by the authors is a novel approach to performing Percutaneous Coronation Intervention (PCI), whereby the operator can utilise remotely controlled technology to manipulate guidewires and catheter devices.
