Gregg Stone, MD, spoke to Cardiovascular Business about early data from the ATHENS-HF trial. Ten heart failure patients were treated with the adjustable device, and each implant was a success.
The new meta-analysis included data from nearly 18,000 patients. Overall, patient outcomes were quite similar for patients who did and did not undergo beta-blocker therapy.
“This study represents a major step forward in how we respond to cardiac arrest in the United States,” explained Monique Starks, MD, principal investigator. “By integrating drone technology into emergency care, we’re working to close the critical gap between cardiac arrest and treatment."
A recent analysis of an already CE-marked, AI-based system that identifies pneumothorax on chest radiographs revealed a weak point in what has largely been considered a reliable support tool.
Gilbert Tang, MD, spoke to Cardiovascular Business about late-breaking data from the TRILUMINATE IDE trial. While early results were promising, these latest findings highlight the TriClip device's true value for the first time.
Treating AFib with surgical ablation during mitral valve surgery and other common heart operations can help patients live longer, a new meta-analysis confirmed.
Sanjit S. Jolly, MD, MSc, reviewed his team's late-breaking data on treating heart attack patients with colchicine. "I think inflammation is an important area, but I don't think colchicine is the magic bullet," he said.
Late-breaking data from the LIFE-BTK clinical trial showed that the Esprit BTK bioresorbable scaffold system offered better two-year outcomes than balloon angioplasty in severe peripheral artery disease (PAD) below the knee.
