PAD in patients with diabetes is common and associated with an increased risk of several adverse events. A new guidance from the American College of Cardiology reviewed this topic at length, identifying areas where care needs to improve.
PFA has emerged as the preferred ablation strategy for many electrophysiologists, but some questions do remain about its long-term impact. HRS is developing this new registry to be as user-friendly for clinicians as possible.
The American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association have issued new guidelines for the management of congenital heart disease in adults. The document outlines how to manage these patients, the challenges they face and much more.
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.
![Researchers have developed artificial blood vessels that could be as strong and durable as the real things, publishing their work in Advanced Materials Technologies.[1] The group hopes its work could go on to make a significant impact in care for heart bypass patients.](/sites/default/files/styles/240x220/public/2024-07/screenshot_2024-07-25_at_2.38.35_pm.png.webp?itok=Kv-BN0d2)
