Surgical bailout during TAVR is growing increasingly rare as time goes on. Does that mean it is time to rethink certain coverage policies? A new study and two separate editorials examined this topic in great detail.
Eko Health's Core 300 stethoscope offers noise cancellation, amplification and a real-time display of the patient's heart data. Clinicians can also use the same device for traditional analog listening.
SCAI surveyed its members to find out what they thought about potential changes to current TAVR policies. The responses to that survey helped influence the group's official stance.
The upcoming Society of Thoracic Surgeons annual meeting in San Diego is scheduled to feature multiple big-name speakers. The four-day event runs Jan. 28-31, 2027.
CCTA offers clinicians an opportunity to make patient care more efficient. However, interventionalists need to make sure they understand how to properly interpret coronary CT data.
The Freesolve Resorbable Magnesium Scaffold previously received the same designation for below-the-knee interventions. This update covers minimally invasive coronary procedures.
Traditionally, the interventional cardiologist first visualizes the coronary anatomy in detail when contrast is injected in the catheterization laboratory. For many patients, however, that anatomy has already been captured, often in considerable detail, by coronary CT angiography (CCTA) performed earlier in the clinical pathway. This article considers how this dataset can be used to plan the procedure, an approach referred to as CT-guided PCI.
