Researchers have developed a deep learning model that can spot longitudinal changes in patients' brain imaging that could be indicative of cancer recurrence.
Michael Reardon, MD, detailed five-year data out of ACC.25 that found Medtronic's Evolut TAVR platform performs as well as SAVR—and even better in some ways.
Reviewing data from more than 6,000 patients, researchers found little evidence of the "obesity paradox" observed elsewhere. Underweight TAVR patients, however, may face some significant long-term risks.
The Millipede 088 was designed to treat large vessel occlusion stroke patients by “ingesting” the blood clot as opposed to dragging it through the patient’s blood vessels.
India-based Meril Life Sciences has been manufacturing its Myval transcatheter heart valves for years, but the technology has not yet gained FDA approval. This latest head-to-head comparison included data from more than 1,000 TAVR patients.
Even grafts that represent the current gold standard for bypass surgeries are associated with high failure rates, researchers noted. They think these 3D-printed blood vessels could provide considerable value.
New one-year data suggests transseptal MViV with a Sapien 3 heart valve is a "favorable and safe procedure." Researchers plan to follow patients for a total of 10 years.
Sahil Parikh, MD, director of endovascular services, New York-Presbyterian, explains details from the big-data REAL-PE study comparing mechanical thrombectomy to ultrasound assisted catheter thrombolysis.
Abandoned metal wire leads for pacemakers and ICDs did not present a serious safety issue in a study of 80 patients, but a handful of patients did experience a significant change in the composite of capture threshold, sensing or lead impedance.
Endoscopic ultrasonography has emerged as a valuable tool for diagnosing pancreatic cancer, but its specificity in differentiating between benign and malignant pancreatic lesions varies.
Inspired by nature and funded by the European Research Council, a group of scientists and engineers thinks its new research could represent a significant breakthrough in TAVR care.
