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.

TMVR after TA-TAVR: a re-redo surgery—case report

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

He had already undergone cardiac surgery in the form of coronary artery bypass grafting at the age of 64 and TA-TAVR at 79 years. Pre-operative CT suggested good alignment of the aortic and mitral valved stent which was confirmed postoperatively.

Consensus statement—graft treatment in cardiovascular bypass graft surgery

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is and continues to be the preferred revascularization strategy in patients with multivessel disease. Graft selection has been shown to influence the outcomes following CABG. Still despite the known evidence these methods are not standard everywhere.

A real story of Ella Dunmore's heart recovery.

Heart 2023 Conference

Ella was advised to undergo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery after a local hospital team discovered a critical blockage in her left main artery. Dr. Kaki implanted Impella CP® on March 18, 2021, while he cleared blockages and inserted stents. Ella went back to her house the following day.
