Valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation versus repeat surgical aortic valve replacement in patients with a failed aortic bioprosthesis
24 Sep 2021
Structural valve deterioration remains the Achilles heel of both SAVR and TAVI. Since indications for TAVI have expanded to low-risk patients in 2019, this clinical scenario poses a significant conundrum for physicians and surgeons, as the number of patients undergoing aortic valve interventions continues to grow...

Treatment effects of Interleukin-6 receptor antibodies for modulating the systemic inflammatory response after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: the IMICA Trial
21 Sep 2021
The IMICA trial explored the effect of a single 1-hour infusion of Tocilizumab, initiated in patients as early as feasible in their hospital admission, post-cardiac arrest, and sought to investigate whether this would reduce the systemic inflammatory response.

Stent expansion indexes to predict clinical outcomes: an IVUS substudy from ADAPT-DES
23 Aug 2021
The purpose of the present investigation was to revisit all stent expansion indexes to identify the best predictor of 2-year percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) lesion-specific outcome measures (i.e. clinically-driven target lesion revascularization [TLR] or definite stent thrombosis) using the ADAPT-DES IVUS substudy cohort.
