Mitral valve repair vs. replacement: Surgeons track long-term outcomes in patients with infective endocarditis

Mitral valve repair was linked to a significant improvement in long-term survival when treating infective endocarditis. Some patients are not good candidates for a repair procedure, however, making replacement the best possible option.

Eric Secemsky, MD, MSc, RPVI, FACC, FAHA, FSCAI, FSVM, director of vascular intervention, Beth Israel Deaconess, section head, interventional cardiology and vascular research, Susan F. Smith Center for Outcomes Research, and associate professor of medicine, Harvard Medical School, explained some of the new bioresorbable stent scaffold technology that is being developed for use in PAD below the knee at CRT 2025.

Advances in bioresorbable stents show promise for treating PAD

Bioresorbable stents are back in the spotlight thanks to some significant progress from multiple medtech companies. Eric Secemsky, MD, discussed some of the biggest breakthroughs in this space at CRT 2025.
