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.

Multiple late-breaking presentations at VIVA 2024 in Las Vegas focused on the benefits of treating peripheral artery disease with the company's intravascular lithotripsy portfolio.

Robotic-assisted aortic valve surgery may be a safe, effective alternative to TAVR when treating low- and intermediate-risk patients. A new analysis in The Annals of Thoracic Surgery explored this topic at length.

The three-day conference begins Saturday, Nov. 16, in Chicago. Topics will include AI, heart failure, patient management and much more. 

The Acurate neo2 TAVR valve has been used to treat severe aortic stenosis in other parts of the world for years. In the United States, however, the device has still not been approved for commercial use.  

New late-breaking data presented at TCT confirmed that the first FDA-approved TTVR system for TR is associated with a much better quality of life than medical therapy alone after one year.

New research presented at TCT combined data from the RHEIA and PARTNER 3 trials. “TAVR is a good option, and probably the best one, for an elderly woman," cardiologist Anna Sonia Petronio, MD, explained during the conference. 

Treating AMI patients with colchicine is not associated with better cardiovascular outcomes, according to new data presented at TCT. The drug did help with inflammation, but that was the only benefit researchers could identify.
