Long-term follow-up of complete versus lesion-only revascularization in STEMI and multivessel disease
21 Jan 2020
The CvLPRIT trial demonstrated that at one-year MACE (all-cause death, recurrent MI, heart failure and ischaemia driven revascularisation) was significantly lower in the CR group compared to the IRA group with no differences in safety endpoints. In this paper, the authors report the extended follow-up to...

Durability and Clinical Outcomes of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement for Failed Surgical Bioprostheses (CoreValve US Expanded Use Study)
31 Dec 2019
Valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation (VIV TAVI) over the last few years has been regarded as a reasonable treatment option for patients with failed surgical bioprostheses who are at increased risk for surgical reoperation and suitable anatomical features. While VIV TAVI showed good short-term hemodynamic and...

Left Ventricular Rapid Pacing Via the Valve Delivery Guidewire in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (EASY TAVI)
23 Dec 2019
This study reports the results of using the Left ventricular (LV) guidewire for pacing instead of introducing a temporary RV pacing wire. The safety of this approach is weighed against the potential complications of temporary pacing wires that include access and right ventricular perforation.
