In addition to more traditional presentations, this year's meeting will also include "Rapid Fire" sessions designed to pack a lot of late-breaking data into a relatively small amount of time.

Prior studies have hypothesized that reduced functional connectivity in the amygdala was more common among people on the spectrum.

Specific brain connectivity patterns evident during childhood might make people more vulnerable to developing psychiatric disorders.

The findings, based on data from more than 800 TAVR patients, suggest that skipping OAC medications for a small amount of time could make a big impact.

When PCI patients present with complex lesions, optical coherence tomography may provide significant value.

“No clear recommendation currently exists in U.S. or European guidelines for performing PCI in addition to TAVR,” researchers wrote. The group hoped its study could provide some clarity. 

According to new MODULAR ATP data, the leadless system was associated with a high success rate and few complications. Boston Scientific plans on seeking FDA approval in 2025. 

Complications are also down after SAVR, researchers noted, though the drop has been much more dramatic for TAVR patients. The new analysis was based on Medicare data from more than 210,000 patients.
