The balloon-expandable valve is already approved for use in India and Europe. New data presented at EuroPCR 2024 in Paris compared it to contemporary devices seen by many as the gold standard for TAVR care. 

One of the biggest decisions in a cardiologist's life is knowing when, exactly, to start a family. Nandita S. Scott, MD, co-director of the Corrigan Women's Heart Health Program at Mass General Hospital, shared her perspective on this important topic.

Vaccination was linked to key benefits in terms of all-cause mortality, heart failure hospitalizations, stroke, heart attack, myocarditis, venous thromboembolism and testing positive for COVID-19. 

The fifth-generation valve is associated with improved hemodynamic data and a reduced rate of paravalvular leak, according to new research published in JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions and EuroIntervention.

"I think we really need our cardiologist community to understand the changes that are happening with value-based payment," one expert tells Cardiovascular Business.
