63 Prospective observational study of the use of simulation for the assessment of competence for percutaneous coronary intervention Open
Introduction Current interventional cardiology training in the United Kingdom is based on direct observed procedures and maintenance of a logbook of cases performed by each interventional trainee. Whilst this may provide some evidence of a…

Five‐year follow‐up of intracoronary autologous cell therapy in acute myocardial infarction: the REGENERATE‐AMI trial Open
Aims The long‐term outcomes of the intracoronary delivery of autologous bone marrow‐derived cells (BMCs) after acute myocardial infarction are not well established. Following the promising 1 year results of the REGENERATE‐AMI trial (despit…

Reintroduction of elective cardiac interventions in the era of COVID-19: the Barts experience Open
Background The response to COVID-19 has required cancellation of all but the most urgent procedures; there is therefore a need for the reintroduction of a safe elective pathway. Methods This was a study of a pilot pathway performed at Bart…

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the delivery of primary percutaneous coronary intervention in STEMI. Open
Enhanced infection prevention and control procedures considering the COVID-19 pandemic did not impede the delivery of pPCI in our single centre cohort. The public health impact of the pandemic has been demonstrated with times being signifi…

Therapeutic Implications of COVID-19 for the Interventional Cardiologist Open
Although COVID-19 is viewed primarily as a respiratory disease, cardiovascular risk factors and disease are prevalent among infected patients and are associated with worse outcomes. In addition, among multiple extra-pulmonary manifestation…

Randomised trial of the comparison of drug-eluting stents in patients with diabetes: OCT DES trial Open
Background To date, there have been limited comparisons performed between everolimus-eluting stents (EES) and zotarolimus-eluting stents (ZES) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). The objectives of this study was to assess the use of s…

Combined analysis of the safety of intra-coronary drug delivery during primary percutaneous coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction: A study of three clinical trials Open
Background The local injection of novel cardioprotective study drugs prior to percutaneous coronary intervention could cause embolisation of thrombus, resulting in increased reperfusion injury and subsequent infarct size. The aim of this s…

Randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study investigating the effects of inorganic nitrate on vascular function, platelet reactivity and restenosis in stable angina: protocol of the NITRATE-OCT study Open
Introduction The mainstay treatment for reducing the symptoms of angina and long-term risk of heart attacks in patients with heart disease is stent implantation in the diseased coronary artery. While this procedure has revolutionised treat…
