The HORIZONS trial reported a survival advantage for bivalirudin over heparin-with-glycoprotein inhibitors (GPIs) in primary PCI for ST elevation myocardial infarction. This drove an international shift in clinical practice. Subsequent studies have p...

Coronary perforation complicating percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with a history of coronary artery bypass surgery: an analysis of 309 perforation cases from the British Cardiovascular Intervention Society database. Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions, https://doi.org/10.1161/CIRCINTERVENTIONS.117.005581

Background: The evidence base for coronary perforation (CP) occurring during percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with a history of bypass surgery (PCI-CABG) is limited and the long-term effects unclear. Using a national PCI database, the i...

Background Gender is a strong predictor of periprocedural major bleeding complications after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The access site represents an important site of such bleeding complications, which has driven adoption of the tran...
