Didier Tchetche, MD, an interventional cardiologist and head of the structural heart disease program at Clinique Pasteur in Toulouse, France, and colleagues combined data from the RHEIA and PARTNER 3 trials into a single comparison of TAVR outcomes in female patients.

TAVR linked to better outcomes than surgery for women, pooled analysis confirms

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.

Impella ECP confirmed to be safe for high-risk PCI—is FDA approval next?

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.

Heart Rhythm Society launches new group focused on EP advocacy

The new organization, Heart Rhythm Advocates, will urge federal policymakers to pass legislation and support actions that have a positive impact on the future of electrophysiology.

EARLY TAVR investigator Philippe Généreux, MD, announced his team’s findings in front of a packed audience at TCT 2024.

Treating asymptomatic aortic stenosis with TAVR linked to significant benefits

Attendees cheered as lead investigator Philippe Généreux, MD, shared his team's findings at TCT 2024. “A major reset in our approach to severe asymptomatic AS is now warranted,” one veteran cardiologist said about the data. “The concept of watchful waiting is no longer appropriate."

New data highlight long-term benefits of HeartFlow’s AI-based CAD evaluations

HeartFlow kicked off TCT 2024 by sharing new research on the long-term impact of its FFRCT Analysis and Plaque Analysis software.
