Haemodynamic performance and clinical outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement with the self-expanding ACURATE Neo2

09 Jun 2022

The ACURATE neo2 valve was developed to reduce the risk of paravalvular AR with an increased sealing skirt. This retrospective study aimed to compare TAVI with the ACURATE neo and neo2 devices.

Polymer-based versus polymer-free stents in high bleeding risk patients: final 2-year results from Onyx ONE

08 Jun 2022

The results of this study show that at 2-year follow-up HBR patients undergoing PCI with a polymer-based zotarolimus-eluting stent & 1-month DAPT had similar outcomes in terms of both safety & efficacy to those with a polymer-free biolimus A9-coated stent.

Balloon- versus self-expanding valve systems for treating small failed surgical aortic bioprostheses: the LYTEN trial

23 May 2022

Luigi provides us with the interventional cardiologist's point of view!

Currently, TAVR selection process is performed by matching the internal diameter of the surgically implanted bioprostheses to the external diameter of commercially available TAVR devices. Nonetheless, the impact of intrinsic design differences, such as supra vs intra-annular design,...
