Tuesday’s LBCS, presented in collaboration with the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, again features five studies. CO-STAR is testing colchicine versus placebo to prevent new-onset atrial fibrillation and conduction disturbances after TAVI. ACCESS-TAVI compares different strategies for vasc...
rather, it compares all the currently available techniques for the so-called “state-of-the-art” PCI and analyses the improvement of PCI over time. This is done by comparing with the outdated PCI arm of the SYNTAX I trial (2)
However, if they are doing an “essential” PCI or a structural heart procedure, the attending physician is allowed to fully consent the patient if they’re comfortable doing so and take the necessary precautions, Teirstein told TCTMD. All follow-up visits occur via telemedicine and any ...
WHAT IS CONTROVERSIAL? Are the Data Robust? Many argue that there are not enough data in the form of RCTs to support the argument that CTO-PCI is beneficial for patients. However, only 15% of guidelines by the American College of Cardiology are based on RCTs, and there are strong observ...
I'm professor of cardiology based at Keele University. Globally over the past couple of months, we've experienced an explosion of COVID-19-related mortality, both in the UK and elsewhere. However, this is not the only story. Early data from Italy suggests that non-COVID-related mortality ...
The appropriate use of devices particularly the cardiology devices including stents is currently the hottest debate in medical fraternity, at least in the West. Recently, some illuminative reports suggested that as many as 12 percent of such elective stent cases were “inappropriate” under the ACC'...
Since the first use of radial access in the cardiology space in the late 1980s, it has been increasingly used for percutaneous interventions. The safety and technical feasibility, as well as its advantages over femoral access, have been well documented in the lit...
However, it remains unclear whether a 30-day timeframe is an appropriate measurement when evaluating PCI performance. Some of the top 100 procedure codes associated with PCI readmissions include laparoscopic cholecystectomy, partial hip replacement, and implantation of an automatic implantable cardioverter-...
