Volume 11, Number 3, October 2025

This issue of AsiaIntervention includes original research articles on the 30-day results from GENESIS-II; orbital atherectomy for nodular calcium; AHEAD score to predict mortality in acute myocardial infarction; DK crush vs provisional stenting for bifurcations; 2D speckle tracking echocardiography post-atrial septal defect closure; and PCI mortality based on weight categories. This issue’s selections of flashlights focus in on a device closure of BMV injury; rotation-overlap method for CTO wiring; aorto-ostial PCI under live IVUS guidance; coronary embolism after TAVI; coil embolisation of a coronary aneurysm; management of a post-stenting longitudinal plaque migration; coronary artery aneurysms after DES PCI; multimodal imaging for arrhythmogenic RV dysplasia; and more…
