Background: Intensive cardiac care units (ICCUs) were created to manage ventricular arrhythmias after acute coronary syndromes, but have diversified to include a more heterogeneous population, the characteristics of which are not well depicted by conventional methods.
Aims: To identify ICCU patient subgroups by phenotypic unsupervised clustering integrating clinical, biological, and echocardiographic data to reveal pathophysiological differences.
Methods: During 7-22 April 2021, we recruited all consecutive patients admitted to ICCUs in 39 centers.
Article Synopsis
- Re-POT (proximal optimization technique) is a new method for treating coronary bifurcation lesions, showing better artery outcomes compared to traditional techniques, and has proven good short-term results.
- The CABRIOLET registry studied the long-term benefits of the Re-POT method in a diverse group of 500 patients across five European centers, focusing on complications like target lesion failure over a year.
- Results indicated a low rate of target lesion failure (2.0%) and target lesion revascularization (1.6%) after one year, suggesting that the Re-POT technique is a safe and effective option for patients with various types of bifurcation lesions.
