Harlan Krumholz, MD, editor-in-chief of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, said tricuspid valve treatments are a popular topic among cardiologists right now. TAVR research, meanwhile, remains as important as ever.

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.  

Sensors from the FreeStyle Libre 2 and Libre 3 continuous glucose monitoring systems can now be worn during X-rays, CT scans and MRI scans. The news represents a shift in policy from the FDA, one that came after the agency reviewed extensive testing data.

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.

Breast biopsies are the most common image-guided procedure. Despite this, many radiology residents may not be routinely involved in completing these procedures during their training.

The Impella ECP heart pump, which measures at just 3 mm in length, was linked to positive safety data in a new study presented at TCT 2024.
