Article Abstract
We report a first and interesting case of balloon-assisted deployment of a dislodged coronary stent. While performing a calcified left circumflex coronary artery (LCX) intervention, the drug-eluting coronary stent was dislodged in the osteoproximal segment of the calcified and tortuous LCX. The dislodged stent was rewired, progressively dilated with multiple balloons and, finally, a larger, balloon-mounted stent was pushed forward, positioned across the coronary lesion and deployed, resulting in distal thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) III flow with good angiographic results. Rewiring the dislodged stent with subsequent balloon-assisted deployment in the lesion can be a solution for a dislodged coronary stent in the proximal vessel.

Objectives: Additional studies are needed on the follow-up outcomes of 1- vs 2-stent techniques in bifurcation percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI).
Methods: The authors examined the angiographic and procedural characteristics, and outcomes of 1306 bifurcation PCIs (1139 patients) performed at 6 centers between 2014 and 2024 from the PROGRESS-BIFURCATION registry.
Results: Upfront 1-stent PCI (96.

Objectives: The management of patients with calcified de novo lesions remains a major clinical challenge even in the era of drug-eluting stents (DES). Drug-coated balloon (DCB) therapy has emerged as an alternative to DES to treat de novo lesions. Nevertheless, the management of calcified lesions using intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) combined with DCB to treat de novo lesions has not been investigated.

Objectives: The authors hypothesized that the origin of the right coronary artery (RCA) is a direct continuation of the major aortic arch branches (MAAB) takeoff plane, which may have implications for brachiocephalic interventions and next generation transcatheter aortic valve intervention (TAVI) embolic protection devices (EPDs).
Methods: In this single-center, retrospective, cross-sectional study, the authors analyzed computed tomographic angiography (CTA) images from 92 patients undergoing TAVI evaluation to determine the spatial relationship between the origin of the RCA and the MAAB takeoff plane. Patients with prior cardiothoracic or aortic interventions and those with anomalous RCA origin were excluded.

Patients with inflammation-associated coronary artery disease (CAD) may exhibit rapid progression and require regular coronary imaging. To evaluate the diagnostic performance of spectral photon-counting detector (PCD) coronary CTA with reduced radiation and contrast media doses for detecting coronary stenosis and in-stent restenosis in patients with inflammation-associated CAD. This prospective study enrolled patients with inflammation-associated CAD from January 2023 to March 2024.
