Invasive gradients versus pressure recovery
Michael Joner, Darren Mylotte
This study reports significantly lower echocardiography-derived gradients in self-expanding transcatheter aortic valves compared to balloon-expandable valves, while invasively measured gradients were similar, highlighting the pressure recovery phenomenon.

Preventing radial artery occlusion
Sunil V. Rao, Louai Razzouk
The study found that the site of radial artery access (cTRA or dTRA) does not impact radial artery occlusion, and adequate systemic anticoagulation is essential to reduce radial artery occlusion, regardless of access site.

Strategies to prevent RAO
Thomas Stiermaier, Ingo Eitel
The RAPID trial found that while distal transradial access did not reduce radial artery occlusion compared to conventional access, procedural anticoagulation significantly reduced the incidence of occlusion without increasing bleeding risk.
