Eagle’s Eye View: Quantitative Coronary Angiography vs Intervascular Ultrasound to Guide PCI, Paclitaxel-Coated Balloon Catheters, PCI vs Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in Left Main Disease and Diabetes
In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at the difference between quantitative coronary angiography versus intervascular ultrasound to guide PCI. He then discusses paclitaxel-coated balloon catheters vs uncoated balloon angioplasty for treating coronary in-stent restenosis. Finally, Dr. Eagle discusses four studies comparing percutaneous coronary intervention versus coronary artery bypass grafting in patients with left main disease with or without diabetes.

Eagle’s Eye View: Lipoprotein(a), Cardiovascular Disease, Interoperative Anemia and Sex Disparity and the Effectiveness of Surveillance Stress Testing
This week, Dr. Eagle dedicates this episode of Eagle’s Eye View to JACC and the upcoming special issue of the Journal edited by Dr. Fuster. Dr. Eagle comments cover JACC articles on lipoprotein(a) and major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with or without baseline atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, then explores intraoperative anemia and how it mediates sex disparity in operative mortality after coronary artery bypass grafting. Finally, Dr. Eagle talks about the value of surveillance stress testing after percutaneous intervention for patients with multivessel or left main coronary disease.

Eagle’s Eye View: ASCVD Risk and Diabetes, TRI-SCORE , Severe Tricuspid Regurgitation, COVID Boosters and Myocarditis
In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle covers coronary calcium scores and how they predict ASCVD risk in the presence of left main disease and diabetes. He then explores TRI-SCORE and the benefits of intervention in patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation. Finally, Dr. Eagle talks about booster vaccination with SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines and myocarditis in adolescents and young adults.

Eagle’s Eye View: Postpartum Cardiovascular Risk, Cardiac Risk and Spinal Cord Injury, Imaging and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle covers opportunities in the postpartum period to reduce cardiovascular disease risk after adverse pregnancy outcomes. He then explores the apparent increased risk of myocardial infarction, heart failure and atrial fibrillation after spinal cord injury. Finally, Dr. Eagle talks about a systematic review and network meta-analysis of coronary angiography, intravascular ultrasound, and optical coherence tomography in the guidance of percutaneous coronary intervention.
