Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a standard treatment for significant coronary artery disease. Cardiologists use a catheter to place a stent that opens up the blockage and restores blood ...

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been associated with increased stent optimization and reduced adverse events among patients with complex ...

Older patients with coronary artery disease scheduled for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) had comparable outcomes regardless of whether they underwent percutaneous coronary intervention ...

WASHINGTON, DC—Complex high-risk indicated PCI procedures (CHIP)—such as chronic total occlusions (CTOs) or calcified lesions—can be safely performed by fellows in training, according to new ...

When IVUS did not outperform angiography for guiding percutaneous interventions in two trials, the results offered more questions than answers.
