Samir B. Pancholy, MD, chief interventional cardiologist, Wayne Memorial Hospital in Honesdale, Pennsylvania, discusses the differences in the business models for office based labs (OBL) vs ambulatory surgical centers (ASC) and choosing the right model cardiovascular and vascular procedures. #TCT #SCAI #OBL #ASC

Cardiologist highlights key differences between OBLs and ASCs

Current payment policies have health systems and physicians all over the country looking to learn more about these two business models.

Patients with paradoxical low-flow, low gradient AS linked to higher mortality rate after TAVR

Patients with this specific subtype of severe aortic stenosis, which can sometimes be challenging to diagnose, face a number of additional risks.

AISAP, an Israeli healthcare technology company focused on using artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance medical imaging results, has gained U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for its new point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) software platform, AISAP Cardio.

AI model turns POCUS images into accurate structural heart evaluations

Researchers see potential for this technology to make cardiac screening much easier for physicians who are not trained cardiologists.

Heavy cannabis use may not impact heart surgery outcomes

Cannabis use has been linked to multiple cardiovascular risks, but less is known about how it may affect patients who undergo major cardiac surgery.

Robotic aortic valve replacement (RAVR) is a new minimally invasive treatment option for symptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS) that uses advanced robotic surgical systems. It has already started gaining momentum as an alternative to both surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).

Robotic cardiac surgery building momentum thanks to RAVR, other breakthroughs

The sky may be the limit for robotic cardiac surgery in 2026 and beyond.
