Purpose of Review: Although simulation was adopted many years ago to complement training programs, more recently it has become an integral part of planning individual invasive procedures as well as understanding and developing new devices and techniques. Here, we review the different types of simulation and modeling and their impact on the field of interventional cardiology. Recent Findings: Three-dimensional model printing has been employed to strategize complex structural procedures for various congenital heart defects and valvular heart diseases. Ex vivo bench testing permitted understanding the relationship of new technologies with neighboring structures and enabled the refinement of the devices and procedural steps themselves. In vitro simulation and computational analyzes have enhanced our understanding of flow dynamics in bifurcation diseases, transcatheter therapies, congenital defects, and predicting outcomes for transcatheter valve technologies and techniques. Summary: Incorporating simulation, bench testing, computational analyzes, and three-dimensional modeling will enable the field of interventional cardiology to expand while optimizing techniques and maintaining best practices. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.

Purpose of Review: The objective of this review is to summarize scientific statements on the diagnosis and management of myocardial infarction with no obstructive coronary artery disease (MINOCA); define the diagnostic role of optical coherence tomography (OCT), intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR); and provide representative case examples. Recent Findings: The majority of patients with MINOCA are evaluated by conventional coronary angiography. However, intracoronary imaging using OCT or IVUS permits more accurate understanding of the underlying pathology. These and other imaging modalities provide significant diagnostic and prognostic value. Summary: Although nonobstructive disease is the hallmark of the disease, MINOCA is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Every effort to define the underlying pathology is necessary and requires more standardized use of imaging in clinical practice. © 2020, The Author(s).
