Stenting of the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is an established palliative option for infants with ductal-dependent pulmonary blood flow. Following initial palliation, reintervention on the PDA stent is common, but risk factors have not been characterized.

Covered stent implantation for treatment of coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is effective and can prevent aortic wall injury. Prospective studies with long-term follow-up, including imaging, are lacking. We report the acute and long-term outcomes for use of the Large Diameter Advanta V12 covered stent for treatment of native and recurrent CoA.

Older adults with atrial fibrillation (AF) are often treated with the shortest possible duration of antiplatelet/anticoagulant therapy after myocardial infarction (MI) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) due to concern for bleeding. However, the risk of recurrent MI or PCI prompting antiplatelet therapy extension is unknown in this population.

Bivalirudin was not superior to unfractionated heparin in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) treated with percutaneous coronary intervention and no planned use of GPI (glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors) in contemporary clinical practice of radial access and potent P2Y12-inhibitors in the VALIDATE-SWEDEHEART randomized clinical trial (Bivalirudin Versus Heparin in STEMI and NSTEMI Patients on Modern Antiplatelet Therapy–Swedish Web-System for Enhancement and Development of Evidence-Based Care in Heart Disease Evaluated According to Recommended Therapies Registry).

Quantitative flow ratio (QFR) has been introduced as a novel angiography-based modality for fast hemodynamic assessment of coronary artery lesions and validated against fractional flow reserve. This study sought to define the prognostic role of pancoronary QFR assessment in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) including postinterventional culprit and nonculprit vessels.

Chronic total occlusions (CTO) occur in nearly 20% of coronary angiograms. CTO revascularization, either by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG), is infrequently performed, approximately one-third of cases. Long-term outcomes are unknown. The objective of the study was to determine whether early CTO revascularization of patients, either by CABG or PCI, was associated with improved clinical outcomes.

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures are increasing in clinical and anatomic complexity, likely increasing the calculated risk of mortality. There is need for a real-time risk prediction tool that includes clinical and coronary anatomic information that is integrated into the electronic medical record system.

Investigational transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) for severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) has shown promise as an alternative to surgery, but factors influencing outcomes, optimal patient selection, and procedural timing remain incompletely defined. Given the limitations of determining TR severity by conventional echocardiography, our objectives were to determine whether invasive right atrial (RA) pressures performed during the procedure are related to patient outcomes.

Motivated by the persistence of uncontrolled blood pressure and its public health impact, the development and evaluation of device-based therapies for hypertension has advanced at an accelerated pace to complement pharmaceutical and lifestyle intervention strategies. Countering widespread interest from early studies, the lack of demonstrable efficacy for renal denervation (RDN) in a large, sham-controlled randomized trial motivated revision of trial design and conduct to account for confounding variables of procedural technique, medication variability, and selection of both patients and end points. Now amidst varied trial design and methods, several sham-controlled, randomized trials have demonstrated clinically meaningful reductions in blood pressure with RDN. With this momentum, additional studies are underway to position RDN as a potential part of standard therapy for the world’s leading cause of death and disability. In parallel, further studies will address unresolved issues including durability of blood pressure lowering and reduction in antihypertensive medications, late-term safety, and impact on clinical outcomes. Identifying predictors of treatment effect and surveys of patient-reported outcomes and treatment preferences are also evolving areas of investigation. Aside from confirmatory studies of safety and effectiveness, these additional studies will further inform patient selection, expand experience with RDN in broader populations with hypertension, and provide guidance to how RDN may be incorporated into treatment pathways.
