Purpose We aimed to investigate the impact of the average table height on the level of radiation delivered to cardiologists performing coronary interventions. Methods The population for analysis included all invasive coronary procedures performed in a single catheterization laboratory (cathlab) in our centre from March to June 2017. The primary endpoint was operator radiation exposure, as assessed using personal electronic dosimeters located on the operator’s left arm. Results In total, 225 invasive coronary procedures were analyzed. When the average table height was 1126 mm or more, the operators received a radiation dose that was, on average, 53% lower than when the table was lower than 1126 mm (P = 0.02). This reduction remained significant by multivariate analysis adjusted for the operator (P < 0.001). Conclusions Our study suggests that the position of the patient table at a height of 1126 mm or higher from the ground decreases the radiation exposure of the operator by 53%, regardless of the operator.

Aims Initial proximal optimisation technique (POT) in provisional stenting improves global malapposition, side-branch (SB) obstruction (SBO) and conservation of arterial circularity. The specific mechanical effects of a final POT sequence concluding the main provisional stenting techniques, on the other hand, are unknown. Methods SynergyTM stents were implanted on fractal coronary bifurcation bench models using the main provisional stenting techniques (n = 5 per group): kissing-balloon inflation (KBI), snuggle, and rePOT (initial POT + SB inflation + final POT). Final results were quantified on 2D and 3D OCT before and after final POT. Results Whichever the technique, final POT significantly decreased global malapposition (from 7.6 ± 5.3% to 2.2 ± 2.5%, P < 0.05) and proximal elliptic deformation (from 1.15 ± 0.07 to 1.09 ± 0.04, P < 0.05), without impact on SBO (from 11.5 ± 9.6% to 12.9 ± 10.6%, NS). However, final POT failed to completely correct the elliptic deformation induced by balloon juxtaposition during the KBI and snuggle techniques, with final elliptic ratios of 1.11 ± 0.03 and 1.11 ± 0.04 respectively, significantly higher than with the full rePOT sequence: 1.05 ± 0.02 (P < 0.05) (Fig. 1). Conclusions Like initial POT, final POT is mandatary whatever the provisional stenting technique used. However, final POT fails to completely correct all proximal elliptic deformation associated with ‘‘kissing-like’’ techniques, in contrast to results with the rePOT sequence.
