Correlation between pre ‐procedural plaque morphology and patterns of in‐stent neointimal hyperplasia at 1‐year follow‐up in patients treated with new‐generation drug‐eluting stents: An optical coherence tomography based analysis
ConclusionMean macrophage grade measured by OCT as a semi ‐quantitative morphological risk factor, as well as clinical presentation of ACS, was associated with in‐stent neointimal heterogeneity after DES implantation. (Source: Journal of Interventional Cardiology)

Improvement of LVEF in patients with HFrEF with coronary heart disease after revascularization —A real‐world study
ConclusionsThe method of revascularization (PCI vs CABG) had no effect on LVEF improvement. Patients with severely impaired baseline LVEFs, triple ‐vessel disease, or no history of MI tended to exhibit marked LVEF improvement (≥10%) after revascularization. In addition, LVESD, LVEDD, hyperuricemia, clopidogrel use and loop diuretic affected the degree of improvement. (Source: Journal of Interventional Cardiology)

Evaluation of patient and staff exposure with state of the art X ‐ray technology in cardiac catheterization: A randomized controlled trial
ConclusionThe new x ‐ray and image processing technology, significantly reduces patient dose in coronary angiographies, and PCIs by 67%. In general, scatter dose was also reduced, yet for some dosimeters the reduction was limited and not statistically significant. This study clearly indicates that the scatter behavio r is highly dependent on C‐arm rotation, operator movement and height, dosimeter position, beam filtration, clinical procedure type and system geometry.

Impact of anemia on percutaneous coronary intervention in Chinese patients: A large single center data
ConclusionsPre ‐PCI anemia was not an independent risk factor of any adverse clinical events, while post‐PCI anemia had a predictable value of MI, TVR, and MACE after PCI. (Source: Journal of Interventional Cardiology)

Cerebral embolic protection systems for transcatheter aortic valve replacement
In the recent years, ischemic brain injury related to embolization after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has received increased attention as new embolic protection strategies emerged to protect the brain. Diverse cerebral protection devices have been developed to reduce cerebral embolization during TAVR. These devices work through various mechanisms and are in different stages of clinical translation. This review provides the evidence ‐based review of peri‐procedural stroke prevention during TAVR and summarizes currently available cerebral embolic protection devices.

The role of different mechanical circulatory support devices and their timing of implantation on myocardial damage and mid ‐term recovery in acute myocardial infarction related cardiogenic shock
ConclusionsCardiac unloading with IMPELLA in ACS ‐CS, especially if implanted before PCI, might provide lower myocardial damage and improved myocardial recovery which translates into significantly higher LVEF at 6 months. (Source: Journal of Interventional Cardiology)

Access and closure management of large bore femoral arterial access
Femoral and radial artery access continue to be the standard of care for percutaneous coronary interventions. Cardiac catheterization has progressed to encompass a wide range of diagnostic and interventional procedures including coronary, peripheral, endovascular, and structural heart disease interventions. Despite advanced technology to make these procedures safe, bleeding, and vascular complications continue to be a substantial source of morbidity, especially in patients undergoing large ‐bore access procedures. New variations of percutaneous devices have reduced complications associated with these procedures. However,...
