Antiplatelet pretreatment in coronary disease

Gurleen Kaur, Deepak L. Bhatt, et al.

This review summarizes the current evidence on the role of pretreatment with antiplatelet agents, including aspirin and P2Y12 inhibitors, in the management of patients with coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous revascularization.

Prognostic impact of HIR criteria in PCI

Valeria Raona, Roxana Mehran, et al.

This study evaluated the prevalence and prognostic impact of guideline-defined high ischaemic risk criteria in a large cohort of chronic coronary syndrome patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. The majority of patients met at least one high-risk criterion, which was associated with increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events.

3D ICE-guided TTVR

Srivatsan Swaminathan, Gilbert H.L. Tang, et al.

A 73-year-old female with a history of rheumatic fever and severe mitral stenosis who had undergone TMVR presented with severe tricuspid regurgitation. 3D ICE-guided TTVR was performed, with a successful outcome.

Updated coronary thrombectomy technique

Quentin Liabot, Juan F. Iglesias, et al.

This case report describes a novel approach to mechanical coronary thrombectomy, combining a stent retriever with continuous aspiration using the CAT RX system, which the authors suggest may enhance efficacy compared to aspiration alone.

mViV vs rMVR for BVD: the SURVIV trial

Dimytri A. Siqueira, Fausto Feres, et al.

The SURVIV trial is a randomized study comparing transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve and surgical redo-mitral valve replacement in patients with failed bioprosthetic mitral valves.

Extended-length introducer sheaths for TAVI

Yusuke Kobari, Ole De Backer, et al.

The study found that the use of an extended-length sheath during transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TF-TAVI) in patients with a hostile aortic anatomy is feasible and may enhance procedural safety by potentially avoiding vascular and/or calcific/thromboembolic complications.

An aortic valve FFR?

Morton J. Kern, Derek Antoku

The editorial discusses the potential use of transvalvular hemodynamics, such as the stress aortic valve index (SAVI), to help guide decision-making around the need for aortic valve replacement in patients with moderate or mild aortic stenosis.

The SAVI-AoS trial

Rob Eerdekens, Pim A.L. Tonino, et al.

This study evaluated symptomatic patients with moderate aortic stenosis and preserved ejection fraction using invasive and non-invasive assessments at rest and during stress. The stress aortic valve index strongly predicted the need for aortic valve intervention.

Leaflet avulsion after UNICORN

Arif A. Khokhar, Ole De Backer, et al.

The content discusses the UNICORN technique for reducing the risk of coronary obstruction during redo-TAVI, highlighting the need for caution due to the unpredictable nature of complete leaflet avulsion and the potential benefits of orthotopic coronary wiring and stenting.

TAVI thrombosis

Mia Ravn Jacobsen, Tobias Geisler, et al.

This review examines the prevalence, mechanisms, and management of leaflet thrombosis after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), a minimally invasive procedure for severe aortic stenosis.
