🆕 in #JACCINT: The #CAvEAT study finds coronary access (CA) after #TAVR is best with short-frame SAPIEN 3/Ultra (89%). Tall-frame valves like #Evolut Pro/Pro+ had lower success (45%). Valve choice matters for future CA! 📊 jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…
#ESCardioCRT identifies three areas that can enhance #ESCGuidelines implementation: · Leverage #AI to simplify language and boost #accessibility · Position National Cardiac Societies as central enablers · Scale proven models like #EuroHeart and registries. Stefan…

In HFimpEF, withdrawing RASi/ARNi and MRA was associated with higher CVM/HHF at 1 year. Withdrawal of BBL was associated with a higher risk of CVM/HHF in the subgroup of patients with an EF at improvement of 40-49% vs ≥50%. ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.11…
Stephan Windecker discusses 5-year outcomes after transcatheter or surgical aortic valve replacement in low-risk patients with aortic stenosis #ACC25 #ESCTVOnTheRoad

ECLIPSE publ today in Lancet. In 2005 pts with severe lsn calcification by angiography that did not absolutely require atherectomy, there were no sig differences in acute MSA or 1-year TVF with orbital atherectomy vs. balloon pre-dilatation. Free link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1krhgV-4XSfdR
Presented at #ACC25: In the PROTECT-TAVI trial, the routine use of cerebral embolic protection during TAVI did not reduce the incidence of stroke within 72 hours or before discharge from the hospital (if discharge occurred sooner). Full trial results: nej.md/41RONXi…
