CVIT 2023 clinical expert consensus document on intravascular ultrasound
AbstractIntravascular ultrasound (IVUS) provides precise anatomic information in coronary arteries including quantitative measurements and morphological assessment. To standardize the IVUS analysis in the current era, this updated expert consensus document summarizes the methods of measurements and assessment of IVUS images and the clinical evidence of IVUS use in percutaneous coronary intervention.

Contemporary coronary drug-eluting and coated stents: an updated mini-review (2023)
AbstractPercutaneous coronary intervention has become a standard-of-care procedure in patients with acute and chronic coronary syndromes, in which coronary stent technology is commonly used. In this updated mini-review article, we list and summarize the characteristics of contemporary coronary drug-eluting and coated stents in 2023. (Source: Cardiovascular Intervention and Therapeutics)

One-year safety and effectiveness of the Agent paclitaxel-coated balloon for the treatment of small vessel disease and in-stent restenosis
This study also includes a single-arm substudy evaluating the safety and effectiveness of Agent in patients with in-stent restenosis (ISR). Patients with a single de novo native lesion (lesion length  ≤ 28 mm and reference diameter ≥ 2.00 to  <  3.00 mm) were randomized 2:1 to receive either Agent (n = 101) or SeQuent Please (n = 49). The ISR substudy enrolled 30 patients with lesion length ≤ 28 mm and reference diameter ≥ 2.00 to  ≤ 4.00 mm. In the SV RCT, target lesion failure (TLF) at 1 year occurred in four patients treated with Agent (4.0%) versus one patient with SeQue...

Lifetime management of severely calcified coronary lesions: the treatment algorithm focused on the shape of calcification
AbstractThe concept of lifetime management has not been discussed in the field of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), because the durability of drug-eluting stent (DES) is considered to be long enough for most patients. Furthermore, even if in-stent restenosis occurs, the treatment for in-stent restenosis is simple in most cases. On the other hand, the long-term clinical outcomes after DES implantation are worse in severely calcified coronary lesions than in non-calcified lesions. Moreover, the treatment for in-stent calcified restenosis or restenosis due to stent underexpansion is not simple. The concept of lifetime...
