Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of elderly patients (over 75 years) undergoing percutaneous transluminal coronary intervention (PCI) using an antithrombotic strategy that considers their individual risks for bleeding and ischemic events.
- The research included 1,064 patients and found that the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events and bleeding was lower in this tailored treatment group compared to a control group, with no cases of stent thrombosis in those receiving shorter dual antiplatelet therapy.
- The conclusion indicates that a risk-adjusted antithrombotic protocol for elderly patients after revascularization with the latest stent technology may lead to better health outcomes regarding both bleeding and ischemic events.
Optical coherence tomography, intravascular ultrasound or angiography guidance for distal left main coronary stenting. The ROCK cohort II study.

Objectives: to test the safety and efficacy of intravascular imaging and specifically optical coherence tomography (OCT) as a diagnostic tool for left main angioplasty and analyze the mid-term outcome accordingly.
Background: Clinical data and international guidelines recommend the use of intravascular imaging ultrasound (IVUS) to guide left main (LM) angioplasty. Despite early experience using OCT in this setting is encouraging, the evidence supporting its use is still limited.
Percutaneous revascularisation has evolved dramatically in the past few decades. The approach to the management of ischaemic heart disease has changed due to the development of new devices and techniques as well as the availability of new drugs and treatment strategies. Its use in combination with antiplatelet therapies has been essential to protect against stent thrombosis.

As they are comprised of polymeric materials standard imaging is challenging. This is especially problematic as modalities like optical coherence tomography (OCT) become more prevalent in cardiology.

As an alternative to traditional metallic drug-eluting stents, these often-erodible scaffolds present opportunities and challenges for patients and clinicians. Theoretically, as they resorb and are absorbed over time, they obviate the long-term complications of permanent implants, but in the short-term visualization and therefore positioning is problematic.
