Article Synopsis
- The article reviews the 2023 activity report from the Interventional Cardiology Association of the Spanish Society of Cardiology, highlighting key trends in interventional cardiology practices in Spain.
- A survey involving 119 hospitals revealed a slight decrease in diagnostic studies but an increase in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), with a notable rise in the use of drug-coated balloons and techniques for plaque modification.
- The findings indicate a stabilization in coronary interventions while showcasing a growth in complex procedures, particularly for valvular and nonvalvular structural heart diseases, with primary PCI becoming the leading treatment for myocardial infarction.
Introduction And Objectives: Functional assessment of coronary stenosis severity with the piezo-electric sensor pressure wire has shown a discrepancy of up to 20% between hyperemic and nonhyperemic indexes. No data are available with fiber-optic pressure wires. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence and factors related to the diagnostic discordance between these indexes with a fiber-optic pressure wire.

Article Synopsis
- This article reports on the annual activities of the Interventional Cardiology Association of the Spanish Society of Cardiology for 2022.
- A total of 111 centers participated, revealing a 4.8% increase in diagnostic studies and a significant 22% rise in PCIs on the left main coronary artery, while the overall PCI numbers remained stable.
- Key trends included a preference for the radial approach in 94.9% of cases, increased use of drug-eluting balloons and intracoronary imaging, and a continuous rise in noncoronary procedures, especially those related to heart valve and structural heart issues.
