TCT 2021: Radoslaw Parma reviews the CHOICE-CLOSURE multicentre, randomized, controlled, open-label clinical trial presented by Mohamed Abdel-Wahab. The study compared outcomes of percutaneous femoral artery closure using a plug-based and a primary suture-based strategy in patients undergoing TAVI.

Alex Sticchi provides his take on the PASCAL IID Registry and an initial comparison with the CLASP IID. The trial was presented by Jörg Hausleiter during TCT Congress 2022.

Thanks to this EIJ image, consider the case of a 46-year-old female patient who underwent a first aortic valve replacement at the age of 25, a second one 10 years later, together with a mitral valve replacement, and who presented with a displaced calcium spike from...

Impella CP microaxial flow pump supports complete revascularisation during high-risk PCI, but standard implantation often leads to vascular complications. This article explores an initial experience with a sheathless implantation technique, which shows promise as a feasible and safe alternative.

Aaysha Cader and Ali Nazmi Calik provide their take on the BHF PROTECT-TAVI trial, presented by Rajesh Kharbanda at ACC.25 in Chicago.
