With the expanded indications for transcatheter aortic valve implantation, a growing number of patients may outlive their initial transcatheter heart valve. This review addresses key considerations for lifetime management, emphasizing the importance of preprocedural computed

Transfemoral #TAVR can be done with different techniques. Yet, vascular/bleeding complications might be prevented and promptly treated with specific technical solutions. Our #LITE technique proved to be a very effective option in ou #TAVI practice!!! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

How does the presence of a CTO influence coronary physiology measurements in other vessels? What time-dependent physiological changes take place after successful CTO PCI? All this discussed in the article published today in MyJSCAI Open access here: shorturl.at/PdbXq

Thrilled to share the #JACCINT LBCT Simultaneous Publication at #CRT2025 in Washington DC!!!! A special thanks to my mentors FRANCESCO BURZOTTA, Carlo trani and all the team. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…

Now we know: if you embarque into bifurcation stenting and want/need to treat LARGE side-branches, POT-KISS-POT is associated with better OCT results. Great 🙏 & 👋 to Gemelli’s interventional cardiology team !!!!! #CRT2025 #JACCINT

POT-Kiss-POT is superior to POT-side-POT in distal LMCA PCI. Great study by FRANCESCO BURZOTTA et al. Corresponds with our bench findings by Lene Nyhus Andreasen and John Ormiston: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cc… Still, high risk of missing out on any clinical advantage of Kissing if Cx rewiring is

What a nice study! This reinforces the idea of using a balloon to protect the ‘other’ ostium during ANY dilation that involves the carina. It is the same principle behind #JSBT. Once the carina is ‘reconfigured’ by a stent (either side), it is not possible to reconfigure it

The POT+kissing-ballooninflation+final POT (PKP) ballooning sequence is associated with better stent configuration compared with the POT+isolated-SB-dilation+final POT (PSP) during stepwise provisional stenting in left main or large bifurcations. #CRT2025 crtonline.org/news-detail/ne…

This week, our interventional cardiology residents had the unique opportunity to be teached by Ziad Ali in our heart-team room… Fantastic (also for me) to attend his lesson about #coronary calcium growth, staging evaluation by #IVUS or #yesOCT and management by #PCI !!!!

🚨 New in #JACCINT: In bifurcation #PCI, proximal optimization + kissing balloon + final POT (PKP) outperforms proximal optimization + side branch dilation + final POT (PSP) with better stent expansion & apposition! 📊 jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… #CRABBIS #cvImaging FRANCESCO BURZOTTA

Guidelines recommend using imaging in complex #PCI . New meta-analysis of RCTs supports this and allows estimate the potential benefit of #IVUS or #OCT: NUMBER NEEDED TO TREAT is 11 pts to prevent one TVF in #LM PCI and of 27 in #bifurcation PCI.  openheart.bmj.com/content/12/1/e…
