A new study of nearly 300 PCI patients suggests biolimus-coated balloons could provide significant value to interventional cardiologists in the years ahead.  

The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions offers its top five key takeaways from the EuroPCR 2024 meeting last week.

The balloon-expandable valve is already approved for use in India and Europe. New data presented at EuroPCR 2024 in Paris compared it to contemporary devices seen by many as the gold standard for TAVR care. 

Researchers tracked data from more than 7,500 patients, sharing their findings at EuroPCR 2024 in Paris and in JSCAI.

The fifth-generation valve is associated with improved hemodynamic data and a reduced rate of paravalvular leak, according to new research published in JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions and EuroIntervention.

Researchers asked ChatGPT to make treatment decisions for patients with severe aortic stenosis, comparing its answers to the recommendations of a full heart team. 

Researchers evaluated two techniques for predicting PPM after TAVR, comparing them to how cardiologists typically check for PPM in day-to-day practice.
