LAA closure – is peri-device patency a problem to address? This pooled meta-analysis reveals that residual LAA patency detected by cardiac CT post-#LAAO significantly raises thromboembolic risk. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… #JACCIMG @KasperKorsholm @XanderJacquemyn @IbrahimSultanMD

#DAPT after valve-in-valve #TAVR may be associated with a lower 1-yr incidence of stroke. In contrast, no significant difference was observed for other major ischemic and bleeding outcomes or for premature valve deterioration. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… #JACCINT @saia_francesco

@NEJM Impressive #AI #infographic that can be generated with a reasonable prompt, and easily improved to incl other details e.g. exclusions no left main, no bifurcation in #TARGETFIRST nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Often get my new fellows thinking PCWP 15 is a hard and fast. For anyone who haven't read @Brian_Houston12 @RyanTedfordMD pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11… - highly recommend

An analysis of mAFP in #MI #cardiogenicshock including time related analysis. Of course, observational but highlights how we are using #MCS currently & understanding #DangerShock approach to treatment #PatientSafety #outcomes authors.elsevier.com/a/1m6QJ5XJLHAS… @sciencedirect @hopkinsheart

New #JACCAdvances review offers a comprehensive analysis integrating device geometry, sinus flow dynamics, and native tissue activity to inform personalized, time-limited anticoagulation strategies in high-risk patients jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… #TAVR

NOTION-2 continues to show a major consideration of PPM in #SAVR vs #TAVR. Something to consider in "borderline" cases & particularly small annuli. #TAVR maybe getting better w/ bicuspid but numerically at least significant outcome difference to consider ahajournals.org/doi/abs/10.116…

Do female patients respond differently than males? Higher 2-year MACE after sirolimus-coated balloon angioplasty for female patients with in-stent restenosis. A hypothesis generating research letter @Dr.LucaTesta @leoneppmd @AGrecoMD @Dari08s ahajrnls.org/4nagaWk

#AorticValve calcification isn't just aging—it's a complex disease! #JACCAsia review dives into new research on inflammation, lipid deposits & fibrosis, plus promising therapies like lipid-lowering drugs & next-gen valve designs. A step toward better care! jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…

Late-breaker at #ACC2025: Dr. Joo-Yong Hahn presented the SMART-CHOICE 3 trial, showing superior efficacy and comparable safety of clopidogrel as long-term maintenance monotherapy in high-risk pts compared to aspirin. Slides here: clinicaltrialresults.org/wp-content/upl…

In a late-breaking clinical trial, Drs. @johnkforrest, @MReardon19, et al report that low-risk patients with AS treated with #TAVR had similar rates of mortality and #stroke at 5 years compared to those treated with surgery jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… #JACC #ACC25 #vhdAS #SAVR

In patients with #AFib and stable #cvCAD, OAC monotherapy, compared with OAC plus SAPT, was not associated with a statistically significant increased risk of ischemic events but resulted in a significantly reduced risk of bleeding. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… #JACC #cvCoag @bbikdeli
