TCT 2024: A large-scale, randomized trial of orbital atherectomy vs. conventional balloon angioplasty in severely calcified coronary arteries prior to DES implantation (ECLIPSE) | PCRonline

Oct 30, 2024 | pcronline.com | Nicola Ryan

Reported from TCT 2024 Nicola Ryan provides her take on the ECLIPSE trial presented by Ajay J. Kirtane at TCT 2024 in Washington. ECLIPSE compared orbital atherectomy with conventional balloon angioplasty in patients with calcified coronary lesions with clinical equipoise for either strategy. Why this study – the rationale/objective? Coronary calcium is increasingly encountered in clinical practice and is associated with increased PCI complexity.
TCT 2024: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement in patients with systolic heart failure and moderate aortic stenosis (TAVR UNLOAD) | PCRonline

Oct 28, 2024 | pcronline.com | Mirvat Alasnag |Nicolas Van Mieghem

Reported from TCT 2024 Mirvat Alasnag interviews Nicolas M. Van Mieghem about the results of the TAVR UNLOAD trial he presented at the TCT Conference 2024. TAVR for moderate AS in Heart Failure with reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF) patients on GDMT was safe and improved quality of life at one year but didn't affect the primary endpoint at 23 months.
Hypertension - the silver bullet of medicine

Oct 6, 2024 | pcronline.com | Andrew Sharp

In this special report, learn about The Essentials of Hypertension Hypertension is the number one cause of years of life lost, and, perhaps more importantly, years of healthy living lost. It causes at least half of all heart attacks and strokes and is the major driver of heart failure. As cardiologists, much of our working life is spent dealing with the downstream consequences of hypertension...

Reported from ESC Congress 2024Mirvat Alasnag provides her take on REC-CAGEFREE I, a multicenter, non-inferiority trial presented at the ESC Congress 2024 in London. BackgroundThere has been growing enthusiasm for drug-coated balloon (DCB) technology in recent years. Evidence has mounted from multiple trials such as the BASKET-SMALL 2, PICCOLETO II, and AGENT IDE trials.
ESC Congress 2024: RESHAPE-HF2 - Percutaneous repair of moderate-to-severe or severe functional mitral regurgitation in patients with symptomatic heart failure | PCRonline

Reported from ESC Congress 2024Nicola Ryan provides her take on the RESHAPE-HF2 trialpresented by Stefan Anker at the ESC Congress 2024 in London and simultaneously published in the NEJM. The RESHAPE-HF 2 trial is a prospective randomised control trial comparing transcatheter mitral valve repair (TEER) and guideline-directed medical therapy to guideline-directed medical therapy in patients with heart failure and moderate to severe functional mitral regurgitation. PICOT analysis of RESHAPE-HF2.
