Not sure how it works where you are, but many PCI reports I see end with a somewhat self-absolving statement about "excellent procedural success", based largely on the operator’s visual estimate (i.e., the judgment is in the eye of the beholder). Well, this study shows that when success is defined using standardized criteria and assessed by a core lab, things look quite different and success rates drop substantially.

In STEMI patients with multivessel disease, reduced LVEF increases ischaemic risk — but the COMPLETE trial showed complete revascularisation reduces major CV events regardless of LVEF.

Age alone may not adequately reflect prognosis after aortic valve replacement.
In this nationwide Danish cohort, comorbidity burden was a major determinant of observed survival, with implications for lifetime management strategies and valve selection.

In balloon-expandable TAVI, prolonged balloon inflation was associated with favourable valve expansion, haemodynamic performance, and early clinical outcomes, suggesting a potential alternative to routine double-tap in selected patients.

In the Multivessel TALENT trial, core lab QCA identified lower device success rates after PCI than visual assessment (88.0% vs 97.4%).
Failure to meet QCA-based criteria was associated with higher rates of lesion-oriented clinical events at 1 year.

In the prespecified HBR substudy of SELUTION DeNovo, a sirolimus-eluting balloon strategy with provisional stenting was compared with systematic DES implantation.
At 1 year, rates of target vessel failure, major bleeding, and net adverse clinical events were numerically lower with the SEB strategy.

Should revascularisation decisions consider both ischaemia and plaque vulnerability?
The COMBINE-INTERVENE Trial tests an integrated FFR- and OCT-guided PCI strategy in patients with multivessel disease.

In the DanGer Shock substudy, baseline and residual SYNTAX scores independently predicted 180-day mortality in patients with infarct-related cardiogenic shock and multivessel disease.
Baseline coronary complexity did not modify the effect of microaxial flow pump support.

In patients undergoing TAVI, this meta-analysis of randomised trials suggested that routine PCI reduced MACE and unplanned revascularisation at the expense of increased major bleeding.
Physiology-guided PCI was associated with the most favourable efficacy profile among the strategies evaluated.

PCR Perspectives: Why are most unstable coronary lesions missed by angiography?
📺& 🎧pcronline.com/Cases-resource…
Many vulnerable coronary plaques do not cause significant stenosis, yet may trigger acute coronary events. @DFCapodanno and Peter Libby discuss the role of inflammation in plaque instability, the limitations of current imaging techniques, and emerging therapeutic targets to address residual cardiovascular risk.

Transcatheter vacuum-assisted extraction of left heart and aortic arch masses showed promising early effectiveness in this multicentre registry.
The observed rate of adverse events suggests the need for careful patient selection and improved procedural safety.
