Early CBT in patients with PE
Orly Leiva, Sripal Bangalore, et al.
This retrospective study found that among patients with intermediate- or high-risk pulmonary embolism, early catheter-based therapy was associated with a lower risk of 90-day death and readmission compared to delayed therapy.

TAVI with CHIP
Tiffany Patterson, Benedict McDonaugh
The ASCoP registry examined outcomes of TAVI patients with concomitant or staged PCI. Concomitant PCI had higher rates of vascular complications and bleeding compared to staged PCI, with no difference in death or heart failure hospitalization.

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.
