https://acrjournal.org/index.php/pub <p>Advances in Cardiac Research (ISSN: 2980-244X) is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes original research articles, reviews, and editorials focused on advancing the understanding of cardiac diseases and their management. The journal covers a wide range of topics related to cardiovascular health, including basic science, clinical research, and translational studies. The goal of Advances in Cardiac Research is to provide a platform for researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals to share their insights and discoveries, ultimately improving patient outcomes and advancing the field of cardiology.</p> en-US Advances in Cardiac Research 2980-244X https://acrjournal.org/index.php/pub/article/view/14 <p>Current guidelines regarding the revascularization of patients with chronic coronary syndromes remains equivocal and while providing a general opinion, many frequently encountered situations in daily practice are still uncovered. Novel studies and trials are aiming to find the determinants of improved outcomes after revascularization and give an insight to the clinicians in decision making.&nbsp; Despite the controvertial results, it seems that more detailed and precise indications are to be defined in the future.</p> İlke Çelikkale Yusuf Ziya Şener Copyright (c) 2023 Advances in Cardiac Research https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2023-07-06 2023-07-06 1 2 10.5281/zenodo.8118795 https://acrjournal.org/index.php/pub/article/view/15 <p style="font-weight: 400;">In the field of interventional cardiology and vascular surgery, drug-coated balloons (DCBs) are a type of medical device used to treat numerous cardiovascular diseases, notably in the peripheral arteries. The interventionist's toolkit has grown thanks to the use of DCBs, which has improved primary patency and freedom from target lesion revascularization. Which technologies may accomplish these goals while simultaneously lowering overall morbidity and mortality is still up for dispute. The purpose of this article is to highlight new developments in the literature pertaining to the usage of balloons with drugs.</p> Banu Evranos Copyright (c) 2023 Advances in Cardiac Research https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2023-07-06 2023-07-06 1 2 10.5281/zenodo.8118693
