From evidence to practice
Adnan Kastrati, Fiorenzo Simonetti
This study replicated the findings of the ISAR-REACT 5 trial, showing that prasugrel was associated with a lower risk of the composite endpoint of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, or stroke compared to ticagrelor in patients with acute coronary syndrome.

Routine prasugrel or ticagrelor use in MI
Mia Ravn Jacobsen, Rikke Sørensen, et al.
This study found that in Denmark, a national shift from ticagrelor to prasugrel occurred in MI patients treated with PCI between 2019-2022, and prasugrel was associated with reduced rates of MACE and MI compared to ticagrelor, with no difference in bleeding.

Blood pressure changes following renal denervation
Roland E. Schmieder, Michael Böhm, et al.
This study found that higher baseline systolic blood pressure is associated with greater blood pressure reduction at 6 months following radiofrequency renal denervation in patients with uncontrolled hypertension.

Complete revascularisation and LVEF in STEMI
Denise Tiong, Shamir R. Mehta, et al.
Patients with STEMI and multivessel disease who have reduced left ventricular ejection fraction are at higher risk of ischemic events. Complete revascularization consistently reduces cardiovascular events compared to culprit-only revascularization, regardless of baseline LVEF.

Concertina effect mimicking plaque rupture on OCT
Nitin Chandra Mohan, Thomas W. Johnson
A 73-year-old female with a history of cardiac conditions presented with chest pain and elevated troponin. Coronary angiography and optical coherence tomography revealed a 'concertina effect' in the obtuse marginal branch, which resolved upon guidewire withdrawal.

A verdict on vascular closure
Tanja K. Rudolph, Max Potratz
A patient-level meta-analysis demonstrates that a suture-based closure strategy results in fewer vascular and bleeding complications compared to a plug-based device for transcatheter interventions.

ProGlide vs MANTA: a patient-level meta-analysis
Oliver Dumpies, Mohamed Abdel-Wahab, et al.
This meta-analysis of 2 RCTs found that the suture-based ProGlide vascular closure device had lower rates of access site-related vascular complications and bleeding compared to the plug-based MANTA device in TAVI patients.

RWS predicts efficacy of DCB in SVD
Ke Xu, Junbo Ge, et al.
This study explored the association between angiography-based radial wall strain (RWS) and drug-coated balloon (DCB) efficacy in de novo small vessel disease. Lesions with high baseline RWS had poorer outcomes with DCB treatment compared to plain old balloon angioplasty.
