Complex PCI and TAVI: the ASCoP registry
Claudio Montalto, Jacopo A. Oreglia et al.
In patients undergoing TAVI and complex/high-risk PCI, a concomitant strategy was associated with a higher rate of adverse events compared to a staged approach.

Invasive gradients versus pressure recovery
Michael Joner, Darren Mylotte
This study reports significantly lower echocardiography-derived gradients in self-expanding transcatheter aortic valves compared to balloon-expandable valves, while invasively measured gradients were similar, highlighting the pressure recovery phenomenon.

Preventing radial artery occlusion
Sunil V. Rao, Louai Razzouk
The study found that the site of radial artery access (cTRA or dTRA) does not impact radial artery occlusion, and adequate systemic anticoagulation is essential to reduce radial artery occlusion, regardless of access site.

Strategies to prevent RAO
Thomas Stiermaier, Ingo Eitel
The RAPID trial found that while distal transradial access did not reduce radial artery occlusion compared to conventional access, procedural anticoagulation significantly reduced the incidence of occlusion without increasing bleeding risk.

Outcomes of VA-ECMO-assisted high-risk PCI
Alexander M. Griffioen, Robert Jan M. van Geuns, et al.
This study demonstrates the safety and feasibility of using a completely percutaneous VA-ECMO approach with local anesthesia during high-risk PCI, with excellent outcomes in terms of successful revascularization and low rates of adverse events.

Clinical outcomes after multilayer in-stent restenosis IVBT
Richard Tanner, Samin K. Sharma, et al.

Patients with multilayer drug-eluting stent in-stent restenosis treated with intravascular brachytherapy had a lower risk of major adverse cardiac events at 3-year follow-up compared to those treated with a non-IVBT strategy.
