EARLY TAVR published. Among patients with asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis, a strategy of early TAVR was superior to clinical surveillance in reducing the incidence of death, stroke, or unplanned hospitalization for cardiovascular causes, driven by the latter. The study's

DCB-BIF Trial: In patients w/ coronary bifurcation lesions undergoing provisional stenting, main vessel stenting w/ a DCB for a compromised side branch resulted in ⬇️ rates of MACE at 1 year compared w/ an NCB for the side branch. More: bit.ly/48lNIdf #TCT2024 #ACCIC

Another gem at #TCT2024 that many here had hypothesized: For Medina 1:1:1 DES for the main branch and DCB for the side branch resulted in lower TLR. If DCBs weren’t so costly in the USA, this approach could quickly become the standard. It’s far simpler, faster, and reduces

The 2025 ACS guideline synthesizes new evidence since the 2013 STEMI and 2014 NSTEMI guidelines and the 2015 focused update on primary PCI in STEMI. This guideline was developed with @ACCInTouch in collaboration with and endorsed by Emergency Physicians NAEMSP SCAI

2025 US guidelines for the management of ACS (STEMI and NSTE-ACS) just released. Insertion of a microaxial flow pump (Impella) to prevent death in in cardiogenic shock has received a class IIa LOE B-R recommendation. IABP and VA-ECMO are class III for rourine use.

Bendopnea. 🫀😨💨 ☑️La bendopnea es la aparición de un aumento de la disnea al inclinarse hacia adelante y se asocia con un aumento de la presión auricular derecha y de la presión de enclavamiento pulmonar (correlaciona con una enfermedad más avanzada en pacientes con HP). 🫀💢🫁

In the new 2025 US guidelines for the management of ACS (STEMI and NSTE-ACS), use of bivalirudin during primary PCI in STEMI is now class 1A LOE B-R to reduce both mortality and bleeding - routine use of bivalirudin rather than UFH can save thousands of lives.

When bivalirudin is used during STEMI, the infusion should be continued for 2-4 hrs post-PCI. This will not only reduce any increased risk of stent thrombosis but in BRIGHT-4 reduced stent thrombosis compared with UFH. The post-PCI infusion is not necessary in NSTE-ACS.
