Eagle’s Eye View: Quantitative Coronary Angiography vs Intervascular Ultrasound to Guide PCI, Paclitaxel-Coated Balloon Catheters, PCI vs Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in Left Main Disease and Diabetes

American College of Cardiology

Eagle looks at the difference between quantitative coronary angiography versus intervascular ultrasound to guide PCI. He then discusses paclitaxel-coated balloon catheters vs uncoated balloon angioplasty for treating coronary in-stent restenosis.

Impact of Diabetes on Outcomes in Left Main Coronary Revascularization: PCI vs. CABG

Cardiology Update

Left main coronary artery disease (CAD) and diabetes pose significant challenges in cardiovascular care, often leading to adverse outcomes. However, the comparative long-term efficacy of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with these conditions remains unclear.

What is coronary artery bypass surgery CABG?

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

When medications and/or procedures like balloon angioplasty are unable to re-establish good blood flow to the heart, these blood vessels can be bypassed by an operation known as coronary artery bypass grafting or CABG. This can block smooth flow of blood and the person can develop chest pain.
