Transcatheter vacuum-assisted extraction of left heart and aortic arch masses showed promising early effectiveness in this multicentre registry. The observed rate of adverse events suggests the need for careful patient selection and improved procedural safety. eurointervention.pcronline.c… #InterventionalCardiology #StructuralHeart #TranscatheterInterventions @fangjonathanx @PedroMDMSc @BillONeillMD @MichaelChiangCS @ArturoGiacaman @vonBardelebenRS

In patients undergoing TAVI, this meta-analysis of randomised trials suggested that routine PCI reduced MACE and unplanned revascularisation at the expense of increased major bleeding. Physiology-guided PCI was associated with the most favourable efficacy profile among the strategies evaluated. 🔗eurointervention.pcronline.c… @KamilBujak12 @DanieleGiacoppo @LaudaniClaudio @marcospagnolo21 @mariasaramauro @giacinto_dileo @Sim_Finocchiaro @AGrecoMD @DFCapodanno #TAVI #PCI #CoronaryArteryDisease

NEW AOP ONLINE🔥 In balloon-expandable TAVI, prolonged balloon inflation was associated with favourable valve expansion, haemodynamic performance, and early clinical outcomes, suggesting a potential alternative to routine double-tap in selected patients. 🔗eurointervention.pcronline.c… #TAVI #GISE2026 @cardaioli @naifovino @giuliamasiero3 @ChiaraFraccaro @G_Tarantini01

In the Multivessel TALENT trial, core lab QCA identified lower device success rates after PCI than visual assessment (88.0% vs 97.4%). Failure to meet QCA-based criteria was associated with higher rates of lesion-oriented clinical events at 1 year. READ MORE HERE: eurointervention.pcronline.c…

In the prespecified HBR substudy of SELUTION DeNovo, a sirolimus-eluting balloon strategy with provisional stenting was compared with systematic DES implantation. At 1 year, rates of target vessel failure, major bleeding, and net adverse clinical events were numerically lower with the SEB strategy. 🔗eurointervention.pcronline.c… @Dr_TRissanen

🚨🚨NEW TRIAL DESIGN NOW ONLINE Should revascularisation decisions consider both ischaemia and plaque vulnerability? The COMBINE-INTERVENE Trial tests an integrated FFR- and OCT-guided PCI strategy in patients with multivessel disease. eurointervention.pcronline.c… @WWojakowski @DavidErlinge @troleder @KedhiElvin @szymonczak @DrRajeshVijay @DrTejasPatel1 @Elie__Akl @RaulmorenoMD @sbrugaletta @Eric_Van_Belle @BURZOTTA_F #PCI #OCT #FFR

In the DanGer Shock substudy, baseline and residual SYNTAX scores independently predicted 180-day mortality in patients with infarct-related cardiogenic shock and multivessel disease. Baseline coronary complexity did not modify the effect of microaxial flow pump support. 🔗eurointervention.pcronline.c… @JasmineMarquard @Slayer_Tina @NormanMangner @CHassager @engstr_thomas

CAC progression may reflect more than plaque accumulation. Serial CT imaging showed increasing calcium density over time, suggesting progressive plaque maturation and compaction, with greater density progression in patients with diabetes and those receiving lipid-lowering therapy. eurointervention.pcronline.c…

🎙️ Editor's Choice Podcast is back! SEB or DES in patients at high bleeding risk? Dr Aaysha Cader (@aayshacader) speaks with Dr Philip Urban about SELUTION DeNovo HBR. At 1 year, TVF, BARC 3+ bleeding and NACE rates favoured the SEB arm. Could lower antiplatelet use play a role? 🎧 Listen: eurointervention.pcronline.c… 📖 Read the Original Research: eurointervention.pcronline.c… #InterventionalCardiology #PCI #HBR #SELUTION
