The best innovations in cardiovascular medicine
Catch up on the highlights from PCR Innovators Day with Ran Kornowski and Nicolo Piazza who describe some of the best innovations in cardiovascular medicine promoted at EuroPCR 2019. They explain why resilience is important for innovators and how it leads to improved outcomes for patients....
Mechanical circulatory support devices to protect patients during high-risk PCI
Performing high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in complex patients requires the interventional cardiologist to use mechanical circulatory support devices to achieve safer outcomes. Which patients are most at risk of complex PCI? What are the best mechanical circulatory support devices currently available and which has the strongest...
A novel atrial flow regulator in heart failure patients
Martin W. Bergmann presents the 3-month results of the PRELIEVE Trial, a pilot study to assess the safety and efficacy of a novel atrial flow regulator that aims to reduce elevated left atrial pressure in patients with heart failure. Can the device improve symptoms of dyspnoea...
Quality in the Cathlab: What is needed to establish a quality program (NAP)
Lynne Hinterbuchner, from the Salzburg University Clinic in Austria asks David Sparv, the Chief Nursing Officer for 5 hospitals in Sweden about quality in the Cathlab. Education and training for Cathlab nurses and allied professionals needs to be standardised. The European core curriculum leading to certification...
Percutaneous edge-to-edge repair in patients with heart failure and secondary mitral regurgitation
Anna Sonia Petronio, Francesco Maisano and Bernard Prendergast discuss the background to the PCR statement on percutaneous edge-to-edge repair in patients with heart failure and secondary mitral regurgitation in light of opposing results from the COAPT and MITRA-FR randomised controlled trials. They explain the reasons for the...
