Intracoronary imaging with intracoronary ultrasound and coherence tomography is often used in the follow-up of coronary stent implantation. The present case shows an infrequent complication of these procedures, suggesting our continued attention to the selective use of these invasive procedures.

Contemporary Use of Post-Dilatation for Stent Optimization During Percutaneous Coronary Intervention; Results From the Netherlands Heart Registration.
Catheter Cardiovasc Interv
January 2025
Heart Centre, Catharina Hospital, Eindhoven, The Netherlands.
Backgrounds: Post-dilatation after stenting with a non-compliant (NC) balloon can be used to improve overall percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) result. Due to lack of evidence on the effect of post-dilatation on adverse clinical endpoints there is no consensus whether post-dilatation should be used routinely. The aim of the current study was to determine the contemporary practice of post-dilatation.

EuroIntervention
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, Hospital Clínico San Carlos IDISSC, CIBER-CV, Madrid, Spain and Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Madrid, Spain.
Background: The diagnostic yield of invasive coronary angiography (ICA) in patients with chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) in contemporary practice is uncertain.
Aims: We investigated the value of an advanced invasive diagnosis (AID) strategy combining angiography and intracoronary testing.
Methods: AID-ANGIO is an all-comers, prospective, multicentre study enrolling CCS patients referred for ICA.
Catheterization Techniques for Anomalous Aortic Origin of Coronary Arteries.
Catheter Cardiovasc Interv
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris, Hôpital Bichat, Paris, France.
Anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery (AAOCA) is a rare congenital anomaly with a large spectrum of anatomical variations. Selective engagement of an AAOCA can present challenges during cardiac catheterization. A comprehensive understanding of the characteristics of major AAOCA can effectively assist operators for selecting and maneuvering catheters.

Am Heart J
December 2024
Department of cardiology, Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, Harefield Hospital, London, UK; King's College London, London, UK.
Background: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is treated with immediate primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) to restore coronary blood flow in the acutely ischaemic territory, but is associated with reperfusion injury limiting the benefit of the therapy. No treatment has proven effective in reducing reperfusion injury. Transcoronary hypothermia has been tested in clinical studies and is well tolerated, but is generally established after crossing the occlusion with a guidewire therefore after initial reperfusion, which might have contributed to the neutral outcomes.

BMC Cardiovasc Disord
December 2024
Departmentof Cardiology, Wuhan Asia Heart Hospital, Wuhan, China.
Background: Coronary Artery Spasm (CAS) often presents in the epicardial coronary arteries. The anterior septal branch is distributed within the myocardium, and occurrences of spasms are rare. Currently, there is no available literature on this topic, and the onset of symptoms remains elusive, potentially leading to misdiagnosis.
