This study assessed the likelihood of left ventricular recovery following transcatheter aortic valve implantation in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction and severe aortic stenosis, and found that recovery was a major determinant of midterm mortality.

In patients with acute coronary syndrome and multivessel disease, immediate complete revascularization was non-inferior to staged revascularization in terms of the primary endpoint at 1 year, and was associated with a lower rate of myocardial infarction in those with three-vessel disease.

This study examined the outcomes of 914 patients with severely reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (≤30%) who underwent TAVI, finding that prior myocardial infarction, reduced kidney function, and low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis were associated with higher mortality.

NEW ISSUE
Apr 15
Everywhere we turn we are confronted by an ongoing debate about the dangers – and advantages – of artificial intelligence. In the last issue, we spoke about evidence, and here, one of our articles looks at artificial intelligence and the role it could play in one aspect of our clinical lives. There is no reason to believe that hard clinical data and artificial intelligence are necessarily opposed… but we still need to be vigilant. The jury is out, and the evidence needs to be collected – what do you think?

In STEMI patients with a prehospital large myocardial area at risk, administration of crushed prasugrel loading dose was associated with higher post-procedural TIMI 3 flow rates compared to integral prasugrel.

This preclinical study compared the drug effects and safety of low-dose paclitaxel, regular-dose paclitaxel and sirolimus-coated drug-coated balloons when inflated in rabbit iliac arteries. Paclitaxel-coated balloons showed higher efficacy and lower distal embolization risk than the sirolimus-coated balloon.

A study compared three drug-coated balloon formulations in a porcine model, assessing drug transfer and tissue distribution as surrogates for clinical efficacy. Both paclitaxel formulations showed greater smooth muscle cell loss than the sirolimus formulation, but limitations were present.

Two large randomized trials found no benefit of an invasive strategy guided by ischaemia and viability testing over medical therapy alone for stable CAD patients, challenging the clinical usefulness of such testing.

This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of using the MANTA plug-based vascular closure device in 66 patients experiencing failed suture-based closure during transfemoral TAVI, finding it achieved haemostasis in 75.8% without complications in 86.4%.
