SCAI asks ABIM to rethink policy on PCI volume reporting requirements

Procedural volume reporting requirements for PCI are no longer necessary, according to SCAI and its members. Those requirements made sense when PCI was new, but that was many years ago. 

Suhny Abbara, MD, FACR, MSCCT, FNASCI, senior associate consultant and professor of radiology, Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, Florida, and editor of the RSNA journal Radiology, explains some of the advanced in cardiac CT radiologists should be paying attention to.

Cardiac CT's expanding role gives radiologists new opportunities

Medtronic's Evolut Pro TAVR valve treating aortic stenosis

Redo TAVR with self-expanding valves linked to positive early outcomes

According to a new analysis of the STS/ACC TVT Registry, redo TAVR with a self-expanding transcatheter heart valve is associated with a strong safety profile and early outcomes comparable to traditional TAVR procedures.

Ginger Biesbrock, DSc, PA-C, MPH, FACC, Senior Vice President, National Heart and Vascular Service Line, Advocate Health, explains what is needed for coronary CT angiography (CCTA) imaging programs to be successful from the C-suite and administrator perspective. She spoke at the SCCT 2026 meeting.

CCTA programs need a strategic C-suite case to drive growth and efficiency

Advocates say the shift to CCTA can translate into a broader financial impacts, with some cath labs potentially seeing margin increases of as much as 40%.

Natalia Trayanova, PhD, FNAI, FHRS, FAHA, FACC, FESC, FEHRA, FIAMBE, FBMES, FAIMBE, FIUPS, FIEEE, Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Director of the Alliance for Cardiovascular Diagnostic and Treatment innovation (ADVANCE), and director of AI research in health and medicine, at the Data Science and AI Institute at Johns Hopkins University, explains how her team has developed a digital twin to copy the electrical function of a specific patient's heart to test various ablation strategies.

Digital twin technology shows ability to personalize ablation planning

Digital twins may be used in the near future to help clinicians plan ahead before EP ablation procedures. They could preview how the patient's heart will react to treatment, for example, increasing the odds of a positive outcome.

8 in 10 young adults have CKM syndrome, increasing their risk of early arterial injury

These findings underscore the importance of making healthy lifestyle decisions at a young age.

The power of quality improvement: How a cath lab transformed care for PCI patients

A multidisciplinary committee formed in 2022 to identify ways to improve safety and efficiency in their facility's cath lab. By 2024, it was clear the group's proposals had made a major impact.
