Prospective concurrent head-to head comparison of three different types of nitinol occluder device for transcatheter closure of secundum ASD
08 Aug 2019
Previous comparisons between AMPLATZER septal occluders and other designs were retrospective, non-randomised, non-concurrent and involved fewer patients... A prospective concurrent head-to-head comparison of AMPLATZER (ASO), Cera (CSO) and Figulla (FSO) septal occluders was planned to study the patient outcomes.

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...

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...
