Prasugrel vs ticagrelor in ACS
Dominick J. Angiolillo, Marco Valgimigli, et al.

There is an ongoing debate over whether prasugrel or ticagrelor should be the preferred P2Y12 inhibitor for patients with acute coronary syndromes, as the available evidence comparing the two remains inconclusive.

Clinical benefit of RDN through 3 years
David E. Kandzari, Felix Mahfoud, et al.
This study found significant blood pressure reductions through 36 months and that nearly 9 out of 10 patients experienced a clinical benefit after radiofrequency renal denervation using the Symplicity Spyral device.

Ticagrelor versus clopidogrel in ACS with DOAC
Oskar Love Emilsson, Sasha Koul et al.
In ACS patients on DOACs undergoing PCI, ticagrelor was associated with a higher bleeding risk compared to clopidogrel, with no differences in ischemic outcomes.

A sledgehammer or a scalpel? Refining antithrombotic therapy in anticoagulated ACS patients
Diana A. Gorog, Konstantinos Toutouzas
The SWEDEHEART registry suggests that adding ticagrelor to a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation and acute coronary syndrome may be akin to using a sledgehammer where a scalpel is required.

OCT vs angio in true LMCA bifurcation lesions: an OCTOBER substudy
Emil N. Holck, Evald H. Christiansen, et al.
This study assessed the feasibility and clinical outcomes of optical coherence tomography (OCT) guidance versus angiographic guidance in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for true left main coronary artery (LMCA) bifurcation lesions. OCT guidance was feasible but with limited visibility of the LMCA ostium, and did not significantly improve clinical outcomes.

The DOUBLE-CHOICE Trial
Hans-Josef Feistritzer, Mohamed Abdel-Wahab, et al.
In this randomized trial, TAVI with the ACURATE neo2 valve was non-inferior to the Evolut platform, with significantly lower rates of the primary composite endpoint at 30 days, driven by lower permanent pacemaker implantation.

An unnecessary farewell? Drawing "accurate" lessons from DOUBLE-CHOICE
Stefan Blankenberg and Sebastian Ludwig
The DOUBLE-CHOICE trial demonstrated the non-inferiority of the ACURATE neo2 transcatheter heart valve compared to other contemporary valves in the treatment of severe aortic stenosis, with lower rates of the primary endpoint and paravalvular leak.

Glucocorticoids: post-TAVI pacemaker prevention
Laura Fuertes-Kenneally, Juan M. Ruiz-Nodar, et al.

This pilot randomized study explored whether short-term glucocorticoid therapy could reduce the need for permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) after TAVI, while assessing feasibility, safety, and early efficacy signals. Patients received either standard care or a steroid regimen with methylprednisolone before TAVI and prednisone for 5 days after, with outcomes including PPI rates, new left bundle branch block, mortality, and procedural complications
