Robotic percutaneous interventional systems represent the future of interventional cardiology. Robotic technology significantly reduces operator exposure to ionizing radiation, and improves ergonomics in the cardiac catheterization laboratory, thereb...
BACKGROUND: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are considered the primary population at risk for post-contrast acute kidney injury (PC-AKI), yet there are few predictive tools specifically designed for this vulnerable population.

BACKGROUND: Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) are minimally invasive procedures that treat diseases with minimal scarring and rapid recovery. However, catheterisation under fluoroscopy ...
BACKGROUND: Patients presenting with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) are typically evaluated using coronary angiography and managed through coronary revascularization. Numerous studies have demonstrated the benefits of expedited disch...
BACKGROUND: The Systemic Coagulation-Inflammation index (SCI) is an innovative hematological metric that accurately reflects both coagulopathic and inflammatory dynamics. In this paper, the objective of this paper is to explain the prognostic impact ...
Background: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a serious complication following acute coronary syndrome (ACS), leading to increased morbidity and mortality. Machine learning (ML), combined with parameters such as shock indices, can potentially imp...

AIMS: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can predict periprocedural myocardial injury (PMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We aimed to investigate whether integrating MRI with CCTA, u...
BACKGROUND: Coronary artery plaque rupture (PR) is closely associated with immune-inflammatory responses. The systemic inflammatory index (SII) and the systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) have shown potential in predicting the occurrence of P...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is being intensively applied to cardiology, particularly in diagnostics, risk prediction, treatment planning, and invasive procedures. While AI-driven advancements have demonstrated promise, their real-world implementatio...
