NOTION-2: in-depth analysis
Arif A. Khokhar, Ole De Backer, et al.
The NOTION-2 trial compared TAVI and SAVR in young, low-risk patients with severe tricuspid and bicuspid aortic stenosis. It found similar outcomes for tricuspid AS, but potential higher risks with TAVI for bicuspid AS.

Stent optimisation in TAVI
Darren Mylotte, Bing Wei Thaddeus Soh
The study discusses the decreasing use of balloon post-dilatation following TAVI, with newer technologies and increasing operator experience reducing the need for this procedure to around 20% of cases.

Routine double-tap after balloon-expandable TAVI
Ali Husain, John G. Webb, et al.
This study found that routine double-tap (repeated balloon inflation) after balloon-expandable transcatheter aortic valve implantation improved transcatheter heart valve expansion without safety concerns.

Clinical risk, high-risk plaques and clinical outcome
Rick H.J.A. Volleberg, Niels van Royen, et al.

This study suggests that traditional clinical risk factors cannot predict high-risk coronary plaques, but the presence of these high-risk plaques is consistently associated with worse clinical outcomes regardless of the patient's overall risk profile.

What traditional risk factors miss
Joost Daemen, Karol Sadowski
This study found that traditional risk scores, such as the TRS-2P score, failed to predict the presence of high-risk plaques in a specific patient population with significant coronary artery disease, highlighting the need for advanced imaging techniques and personalized risk assessment.

PCD-CT for stent assessment
Daniele Andreini, Carlo Di Mario

This editorial discusses how photon-counting computed tomography can provide high-resolution imaging of coronary stents, which may help guide percutaneous coronary interventions.

Photon-counting CT for coronary ISR
Doosup Shin, Ziad A. Ali, et al.
This study evaluated the diagnostic performance of photon-counting detector computed tomography (PCD-CT) in detecting obstructive in-stent restenosis, demonstrating good overall accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity, regardless of stent diameter.

Tricuspid valve-in-ring post-CAVI
Lluis Asmarats, Dabit Arzamendi, et al.
A 73-year-old female with prior rheumatic valve disease and tricuspid annuloplasty underwent bicaval valve implantation for massive tricuspid regurgitation, and later required a tricuspid valve-in-ring procedure due to structural valve deterioration.

Redo-TAVI with ACURATE for short-frame THVs
Giuseppe Tarantini, Luca Nai Fovino, et al.
This correspondence discusses the clinical experience with the discontinued ACURATE neo2 and ACURATE Prime aortic valve systems for redo-TAVI procedures in patients with failing short-frame THVs, such as the SAPIEN 3/Ultra.

Post-TAVI antithrombotic therapy
Kentaro Hayashida, Juri Iwata
The study evaluated the Valve Academic Research Consortium High Bleeding Risk (VARC-HBR) criteria in TAVI patients and found the criteria were effective in stratifying bleeding risk.

VARC-HBR criteria validation in anticoagulated TAVI patients
Daniël C. Overduin, Jurriën M. Ten Berg, et al.
This study evaluated the validity of the VARC-HBR criteria for predicting bleeding risk in TAVI patients. The criteria effectively identified distinct subgroups with a stepwise increase in major bleeding risk, but had moderate predictive performance for individual risk.
