FDA clears new software for AI-powered CCTA assessments

Elucid's PlaqueIQ was trained to turn CCTA images into interactive 3D reports that help physicians visualize the presence of atherosclerosis.

Performing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with the J-Valve transcatheter heart valve (THV) may help limit the risk of coronary artery obstruction (CAO) in high-risk patients, according to a new study published in Clinical Interventions in Aging.[1]

New-look TAVR valve recently acquired by Edwards may reduce risk of coronary obstruction

Early data suggest the J-Valve transcatheter heart valve could help care teams avoid a rare, but often fatal TAVR complication when treating high-risk patients.

Rising heart failure, AFib rates a ‘wake-up call’ for US cardiologists

Today's heart teams already face a number of challenges on a day-to-day basis.  New data suggest they could soon be treating more patients than ever before.  

Novel imaging technique could be used to tailor glioblastoma treatment

It allows providers to quantify changes in tumor size throughout patients’ treatment in real-time, providing early indications of efficacy and enabling adjustments as needed.

Post-mastectomy radiation therapy can be safely shortened prior to breast reconstruction

New research suggests that treatment regimens can be nearly halved without increasing the risk of recurrence or complications further down the road. 

Medtronic has launched VitalFlow, a new all-in-one extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) system designed to provide clinicians with a user-friendly experience. According to Medtronic, its goal with the VitalFlow system was to develop a simple, straightforward ECMO device that helps clinicians by making everything as intuitive as possible.

Medtronic launches new all-in-one ECMO system after acquiring longtime partner

According to Medtronic, its goal was to develop a user-friendly ECMO device that makes patient care as intuitive as possible.

Endotronix, an Illinois-based healthcare technology company, has gained U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval for its Cordella Pulmonary Artery (PA) Sensor System, which uses PA pressure-guided therapy to manage and treat heart failure patients.

Implantable PA sensor for heart failure linked to positive 1-year outcomes

The new Cordella device from Endotronix, now an Edwards Lifesciences company, uses an implantable device to track the patient's pulmonary artery pressure and other helpful health data.

Pi-Cardia ShortCut TAVR device

FDA clears new device for valve-in-valve TAVR patients at risk of coronary obstruction

ShortCut, which gained the FDA’s breakthrough device designation back in January, is used to split valve leaflets and reduce the risk of obstruction.
