Intravascular imaging shown to significantly improve survival, safety and outcomes in stenting procedures

Medical Xpress - Cardiology

Using intravascular imaging to guide stent implantation during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in heart disease patients significantly improves survival and reduces adverse cardiovascular events compared to angiography-guided PCI alone, the most commonly used method.

Philips launches Duo Venous Stent System for Treatment of Symptomatic Venous Outflow Obstruction

DAIC

and an investigator in the VIVID study , which contributed to the device’s FDA approval – successfully used the Duo Venous Stent System for the first time outside of a clinical trial. Duo Hybrid has a distinct integrated design that combines multiple zones of differing mechanical properties into a single stent [3].

Intravascular imaging can improve outcomes for complex stenting procedures in calcified coronary arteries

Medical Xpress - Cardiology

Using intravascular imaging (IVI) to guide stent implantation during complex stenting procedures is safer and more effective for patients with severely calcified coronary artery disease than conventional angiography, the more commonly used technique.

Comparative treatment outcomes of a single long stent vs. overlapped short stents in acute myocardial infarction

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Objectives There is no consensus regarding the optimal choice between single long stent (SLS) and overlapped double short stents (DSS) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Therefore, we aimed to compare treatment outcomes among patients with AMI treated with these two different stenting methods.

Valvular and perivalvular thrombus after TAVR: Risks and Outcomes

Cardiology Update

This sub-study aimed to assess the frequency of both valvular (subclinical leaflet thrombus) and perivalvular (supravalvular, subvalvular, and sinus of Valsalva) thrombus and their potential association with various clinical outcomes. had thrombus at any aortic valve complex. Specifically, 14.2% had perivalvular thrombus. Specifically, 14.2%

FLASH: AI-Based Quantitative Angiography Shows Promise For Assisting PCI

American College of Cardiology

Results from the FLASH trial demonstrate the noninferiority of artificial intelligence-based fully automated quantitative coronary angiography (AI-QCA)-assisted PCI compared with optical coherence tomography (OCT)-guided PCI in achieving optimal minimal stent area, with comparable procedural complications, OCT-defined endpoints, and six-month clinical (..)
