In this large, propensity-matched cohort of TAVI patients, only invasively measured postprocedural aortic gradients—not echocardiography-derived gradients—were independently associated with 30-day, 1- and 2-year mortality. These results suggest that invasive assessment may provide superior prognostic information compared to echo-derived gradients following TAVI. eurointervention.pcronline.com/article/progno… #TAVI #Cardiology #EAPCI

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection seems primarily caused by intramural bleeding, with a harmful association of potent antiplatelet therapy and anticoagulation with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Discover more in #EHJ 👉 ow.ly/Fqfq50VeAMv @RoccoMontone @ehj_ed #SCAD

#CRT2025 #JACCINT LBCT: Results of the CRABBIS RCT show that during stepwise provisional stenting in left main or large bifurcations, the PKP ballooning sequence is associated with better stent configuration compared to the PSP jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… @BURZOTTA_F @LCappannoli

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.
