Abstract The European Bifurcation Club (EBC) was initiated in 2004 to support a continuous
overview of the field of coronary artery bifurcation interventions and aims to facilitate a …

Coronary bifurcations are involved in 15-20% of all percutaneous coronary interventions
(PCI) and remain one of the most challenging lesions in interventional cardiology in terms of …

Despite the great advances that the tissue engineering field has experienced over the last
two decades, the amount of in vitro engineered tissues that have reached a stage of clinical …

Abstract The European Bifurcation Club (EBC) is an independent, nonpolitical and informal
“think tank” of scientists with a particular interest in clinical, technical and fundamental …

Objectives This study used a fractal bifurcation bench model to compare 6 optimization
sequences for coronary bifurcation provisional stenting, including 1 novel sequence without …

Interventional cardiology and coronary stent insertion have an increasing role in the optimal
management of left main coronary artery (LMCA) stenosis. Assessing the extent of …

Patient specific geometrical data on human coronary arteries can be reliably obtained
multislice computer tomography (MSCT) imaging. MSCT cannot provide hemodynamic …

Although a full understanding of the hepatic circulation is one of the keys to successfully
perform liver surgery and to elucidate liver pathology, relatively little is known about the …

Background: Evaluating prospectively the feasibility, accuracy and reproducibility of optical
flow ratio (OFR), a novel method of computational physiology based on optical coherence …

Aims: Paclitaxel drug-eluting balloons (pDEB) could be an attractive option to minimise side
branch (SB) restenosis in bifurcated coronary lesions. We compared angiographic and …
