The release of the 2018 meta-analysis1 happened to occur during the VERVE Symposium in Sydney, and this publication, highlighting mortality concerns with paclitaxel use in lower-extremity intervention, was a shock to everyone.

Short D2B times reduce mortality in STEMI interventions. There is a disparity between the race to treat STEMI and the delayed action of oral P2Y12 inhibitors.

As cath lab programs are coming out of COVID, and in some cases, struggling to resume normal volumes, we find ourselves having to face the reality that healthcare has changed and will continue to change in the coming years.

I began my career in the cath lab in 1979. Having witnessed the remarkable evolution of its procedures, techniques, and patient profiles, I marveled at the birth and development of coronary interventions.
